Whenever we go to Bertucci's, inevitably someone always get their sausage soup. It just seems so basic and simple, I figured I could pretty easily make it at home. As far as I can tell, their ingredients are rice, diced tomatoes, onion, sausage, chopped spinach (looks like frozen, not fresh), and Parmesan cheese. Now, you know me by now, I like to add a little bit of me, so see how it turns out.


Meanwhile, in yet another pan, I cook up one cup of long grain white rice, just until it is almost done. You can always use brown rice if you prefer, it just stays a bit too crunchy for me! Someday I am going to make this with small soup pasta instead.... call me crazy!
I will add the rice to the soup just before serving it. Itt breaks apart the longer it sits in the soup, which is how Bertucci's serves it, so I try to add it in at the end so it stays together a bit more.

So, I think that's it. The flavors of the sausage, onion, and garlic really speak for themselves. And I love loads of fresh spinach floating around. Just so you know, even though it looks like you have made a ton of soup, there won't be much to have for left overs...
