We’ve got a monster winter storm on the horizon, but luckily I’ve got all the ingredients on hand to make then hunker down with a big pot of Italian Sausage, Spinach and Tomato Soup.
This hearty and cozy dish is not only full of flavorful and nourishing ingredients, but made with fridge and pantry staples, too!
How to Get BIG Flavor in a Hurry
Chopped vegetables, ground turkey, ground Italian sausage, canned beans, and a jar of marinara sauce form the base of this flavor-packed soup. And yes, you read that right – a jar of marinara sauce!
Adding marinara sauce to soup makes it taste slow-cooked and super savory, but only you and I will know that this recipe goes from fridge to table in just 30 minutes.
Whether you’ve got a snowstorm on the horizon, or are just looking for a flavorful, hearty bowl of soup for dinner tonight — you’re going to love this easy recipe!
How to Make this Soup
Start by adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to a large soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and ground turkey breast, chopped carrots, and minced shallot. Season with salt and pepper then saute until the meat is cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Next add canned cannellini beans that have been drained and rinsed, plus Italian seasoning.
Just a couple more ingredients! Add chicken broth and a 24oz jar marinara sauce then turn the heat up to high to bring the soup up to a simmer.
The marinara sauce is my secret to giving this soup a rich and slow-cooked flavor without having to simmer it for hours.
Turn the heat down to medium then simmer the soup for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender, then add baby spinach that has been roughly chopped and stir until the spinach is tender, about 1 minute.
Soup’s up! Easy, right? Ladle into bowls then serve with a side salad, Gluten Free Biscuits, or Gluten Free Focaccia. So cozy!
However you serve it, I hope you love this yummy, soul-warming soup recipe — enjoy!

I love this soup every time I make it! So very easy and the marinara gives such great flavor. The only change I make is adding more veggies and throw a little parm on to serve. Thanks for an actual quick (healthy) soup recipe!!
Love the parm flourish, Miss!! Thank you so much for your feedback and recipe rating!

This soup was delicious. It was easy to make. We used turkey sausage. We topped it with fresh parsley from our class garden. It was even better the next day!
Ooo, that sounds like the perfect fresh topping for this hearty soup! So glad it was a hit!
Staple in our house!! So easy and kids love it. Thank you for this recipe!!
We love this soup! The first chill of fall brings it on, with some notable additions:
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic
sub sausage for 1 lb ground turkey
and instead of marinara i use Rao’s Arrabiatta. And serve with lots of crusty bread. Thank you!
Sounds fabulous, Alexis! So glad you enjoyed!!
