Hearty Tuscan Pork Sausage, Pumpkin & Spinach Soup with ParmesanHearty Tuscan Pork Sausage, Pumpkin & Spinach Soup with Parmesan — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 14 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

1420 ml chicken or vegetable broth

3 (398 ml) cans diced tomatoes

6 cloves garlic

0.68 kg ground pork sausage

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

85 g Parmesan cheese

1 ½ (398 ml) cans pure pumpkin purée

255 g rotini pasta

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

crushed red pepper

Italian seasoning

salt

Instructions

Peel, halve, and small dice onions. Place in a large bowl.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, peel and mince garlic. Add to the bowl with the onions.

Once the pot is hot, add onion, garlic, sausage, and spices. Cook, breaking sausage apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes. (Reserve bowl for later use.)

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan. Set aside.

When the sausage is done, add broth, tomatoes, pumpkin, and water to the pot. Stir to combine.

Add pasta to the pot and stir once more to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the soup is boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer until pasta is desired firmness, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the spinach (skip this step if it came pre-washed). Roughly chop spinach and place in the reserved bowl.

Wash, dry, and shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add half to the bowl with the spinach. (Set remaining parsley aside for serving.)

When the pasta is done, add spinach and parsley to the pot in handfuls, waiting for the greens to wilt slightly before adding the next handful. Stir to combine the soup and remove from heat.

To serve, divide soup between bowls, then top with Parmesan and reserved parsley. Enjoy!
