Savory Winter Soup

This soup tastes great, whips up in a flash and lasts all week (if it takes that long to eat!). Plus, you can make a double batch and freeze half for later. It's very healthy and filling.

• 1 jar (25 oz.) roasted garlic pasta sauce• 2 boxes (16 oz. ea.) vegetable broth
• 2 cups uncooked whole grain pasta
• 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 3 cups frozen chopped spinach
• 4 Chicken apple sausages

Heat broth and pasta sauce on medium in a large pot. Add pasta, frozen spinach and veggies. Dice sausages into 1/4 inch segments; add to soup. Simmer for 15-20 minutes and let sit for 30 minutes before serving. It's even better the next day!

Variations: other flavors of pasta sauce, chicken veggie pot stickers (pan-fry them first so they don't fall apart in the soup), black beans, garbanzos, etc.

Enjoy!
