Makes: 4  servings Prep 15 mins Broil 1 min

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound  sweet or hot Italian sausage, casing removed, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon  chopped garlic
  • 1 pound  spinach, stems trimmed, or 1 small head (1 lb.) escarole, trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 3 cans (14 oz. each) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup  broken (1-inch) pieces capellini or vermicelli
  • 4 slices crusty French or Italian bread, 1/2 inch thick
  • 4 teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons  freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

1. Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and broth. Fill one empty can of broth with water; add to pot. Cover and bring mixture to a boil. (If using escarole, add to pot and boil 3 minutes.) Add capellini, cover and boil 2 minutes more.

2. Meanwhile, heat broiler. Broil bread slices on cookie sheet about 1 minute per side, until toasted. Drizzle each slice with 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan. Divide soup among 4 large soup bowls and top each serving with prepared toasts. Makes 4 servings.
