Notes
- I created this as a clean out the freezer soup, but you can definitely use fresh ingredients. If using fresh spinach, double the amount.
- Finishing olive oil is not included in the nutrition information.
- Storing: This stew will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freezing: This is a good soup to make as a freezer meal! Cook and crumble the sausage and let cool. Add all ingredients to a freezer bag or bowl. Freeze for up to 4 months. When ready to serve, let thaw in the refrigerator overnight, pour the contents into a heavy bottom pot and let simmer for 30 minutes. Serve.
