Italian sausage and spinach soup What do you make when it’s summertime but the cool temperature and rain makes it feel like the start of autumn? You make a hot and hearty soup. And that’s just what Nelson did today. Actually, he would have made this even if it was a warm and sunny day, just because he was craving a nice healthy soup.

This really was perfect for the day we had. It truly hit the spot and warmed me up. I’m actually not crazy about beans, but since I was a young child, I’ve always managed to enjoy beans in soups like this–filled with potatoes, carrots, and greens. Maybe that’s why I still love soup like this today; because it brings me back to my childhood. Maybe I just love it because it’s delicious and it’s an easy way to eat healthy.

Nelson loved this one with cheese, but I preferred mine without. We agree on most things, but cheese isn’t one of them.

We hope you enjoy…whatever the weather 😉

This Italian sausage and spinach soup recipe is full of flavour and cozy for a chilli evening. The cheddar cheese melting over top makes it a perfect soup.

      You’re very welcome. We’ve just entered the summer here, but the weather’s still chilli, so this hit the spot. Take care. I hope you enjoy the soup.
