I have made this soup twice for my wife and me. Wife said she hated spinach...'not any more. I followed the receipe as writtent except the store didn t have bulk Italian Sausage, so I bought the links and pulled the skin off and chopped it up. She is already asking me to make it again.

I made this for Christmas dinner this year. I started marinating it after the Christmas Eve Service and started baking it at about 12 for a dinner at 3. The dish was excellent. I was worried about the bourbon over powering the flavor after reading a couple of reviews, and that was not the case. As my wife and I were finishing off the bottle of Pinot Noir, we discussed the possiblity of using a sprial cut ham next year, or the next time I make the dish. Recipe was extremely easy. The biggest challenge was finding a bag big enough. We ended up using a roasting bag. Thank you for the recipe.

I have been making this soup for the past few years for our youth sponsored "Souper Bowl" fund raiser. It is always a hit, with the youth eating a lot of the soup. I use a vegetable bullion instead of a meat broth to keep it truly vegetarian. At the house, I use the chicken broth and my daughter loves it.
