Italian Sausage Soup

This soup is both beautiful and tasty, and I’m not a big soup person.  It comes together really fast on a cold night, and tastes great reheated for lunch the next day.  The soup is very healthy, with spinach, squash, tomatoes and beans.  In fact, it’s so healthy that we have to balance it out with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.  And you know the kids hate that.
