Jackie's Sausage Soup

"Easy one pot soup that doesn't take a lot of time but tastes like it did. If you prefer, use rice or some other pasta. Feel free to add other chopped vegetables, such as celery and carrots. Great warmed up the next day."

This soup is perfect on a cold and rainy evening. It also freezes well - just don't add quite as much orzo as it calls for as it will soak up too much liquid during the freeze/thaw process. The whole family liked it - just don't tell them it contains spinach ;)

Yum! This is my new favorite soup. Perfect when the weather starts to get a little cooler and you want something warm and satisfying. Really great with a hearty loaf of bread. Thanks Jackie!
