Soup recipes

Here are two "go to" soup recipes that taste good and don't take long to whip up!  I like to make a loaf of the Pillsbury Simply French Bread or Simply Buttermilk biscuits to go with them. 
PASTA FAGIOLI SOUP

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed, crumbled

  • 3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, cut into strips

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer.
