DELICIOUS! I used poultry sausage, and I never would have known the difference from regular Italian sausage. And half the calories! I had some ancini de pepe pasta leftover from another recipe, and it’s similar to pastina, so I used that. I also cut back on the broth and added a whole 9 oz. bag of baby spinach. We like very chunky/hearty soups. This was so simple, but the flavors were out of this world! I’ll definitely be making it again… Thanks for sharing!
