Best Italian Sausage Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Perri Pender PHOTO BY: KAITCH

"This is one of my favorite soups and it always gets rave reviews! Salad, hard rolls and wine make a meal! You can make this 24 hours ahead of time without the noodles and wait to add the spinach noodles until soup is reheated for serving. Yummy! Serve topped with grated Parmesan!"
