Sausage Spinach Soup

Ohhhh yum!

You have got to try this!!!!

Ingredients:

32 oz. chicken broth (or stock for richer flavor)

2 boxes frozen spinach

1 lb. italian sausage, spicy or mild
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup brown rice, not cooked
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Dump the chicken broth and frozen spinach into a crockpot turned on low.
Brown the sausage (break bulk sausage into smaller pieces or chop sausage "links" into bite sized pieces). Drain the grease from the sausage and add it to the broth and spinach mixture. In the sausage pan, cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent and add it to the soup mixture. Cook on low for four hours.

Add the brown rice. Simmer on low for another two hours until the rice is cooked. (You can add the rice at the start and let it simmer all day for convenience).

Ladle into bowls and top with parmesan cheese to serve.

My family LOVED it and asked me to make it again! YAY for soup! If you try it, let me know what your family thinks. :)
