- 16 ounces spicy ground Italian sausage
- 2 cups yellow onion chopped

In a large Dutch Oven, cook the Italian sausage and yellow onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain the grease. Stir in the chopped carrots and celery, allow them to cook for three minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, sea salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 3-3.5 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
In a separate pan, cook the organic ditalini pasta for 7-10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. While the noodles are cooking, add in the spinach to the minestrone soup, allowing the spinach to cook down. Serve a steaming bowl of Italian Sausage & Spinach Minestrone Soup with a slice of crispy French bread. Enjoy!
