Italian Sausage, Spinach and Tomato Soup is a gluten-free soup recipe full of healthy, hearty ingredients. Just 30 minutes from fridge to table!
We’ve got a monster winter storm on the horizon – it’s supposed to ice rain for the next 24 hours – so this past weekend I stocked up on some essentials before hunkering down. On the list? Almond milk, eggs, wine… (like I said, the essentials!) plus the ingredients to make a big batch of my Italian Sausage, Spinach and Tomato Soup. It’s the perfect hearty and cozy dish to enjoy when the weather outside is frightful!
Chopped vegetables, ground turkey and 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.
If you’re looking a snow or ice storm in the face, dash out for a few ingredients to make a batch for yourself!
How to Make this Recipe:
Start by adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to a large soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/2lb each Italian sausage and ground turkey breast, 2 carrots that have been peeled then chopped, and 1 minced shallot. Season with salt and pepper then saute until the meat is cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Next add a 15oz can cannellini beans that has been drained and rinsed, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
Just a couple more ingredients! Add 3 cups chicken broth and a 24oz jar marinara sauce then turn the heat up to high to bring the soup up to a boil. 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 5oz 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 or my personal favorite, bread and butter. Mmm. However you serve it, I hope you love this yummy, soul-warming soup recipe! Enjoy!

So excited! I loveeeeee your ditalini soup and have made it 10 zillion times, so I can’t WAIT to try this awesome update.
YAY! You will love this version, Donna!
This recipe sounds so scrummy! :)

Reminds me of your minestrone recipe which is ?!!! I’ll have to try this soup!
Yes, for sure! I think you’ll really love it, Anna!
This actually looks like a healthy soup that my fiancée would actually eat, especially if I make It with the spicy sausage he likes.
Yum this looks so healthy and good, I will definitely be trying this one soon! Making your crock pot chicken and wild rice soup tonight for this snowy Denver day. It’s so great that you share so many dairy free recipes because like Lincoln, my 1.5 yr old can’t do dairy either. Thank you, as always!
Our poor little Lincolns!! Hope you guys enjoy it, Andrea!
Ohhh this looks delicious!!!
Thank you for this recipe – I’ve been awaiting a new soup recipe from you that fits into our food plan (no dairy, no wheat, no added sugars, etc.) … so this will added into our meal plan this week. The funny thing is I was trying to modify your turkey with ditalini recipe last week to one that’s spicier and without pasta, so YAY. I didn’t think to add spinach… I’ve had a lot of trouble finding a marinara jar without added sugar – so will look for Bove’s here.
Last night I made your easy chicken with carrots and rice soup (using brown rice), and your sausage/veg soup with turkey Italian sausage and sweet potatoes is on the menu for Friday night. (You turned me on to leeks with that recipe…) You do not disappoint, Kristin. Every week there is one or two of your recipes on our meal plan – your smoky/sweet chili, burrito bowls, etc. Still planning to try your sweet potato gratin… Lotta love in our home for you! :)
I love your Spicy Turkey Dilatini soup — I just made it using quinoa instead of pasta. Excited to try this!
Love the writing as always:) This soup is the perfect fit for this time of the year!
I made this last night and it did not disappoint!! I did a few substitutions…celery instead of carrots and I used roasted and diced butternut squash instead of the beans! It was amazing and I can’t wait to have leftovers for lunch. Thank you for all of your awesome recipes.
Hi Kristin!
I’ve been a long time fan of your blog and have followed you for years. I love all your recipes. I’ve recently joined weight watchers and wondered if you had the nutritional value for your recipes?
Thanks,
Kassie ?
Could frozen chopped spinach be subbed for fresh in this soup?
Love the shout out to Vermont with the Boves!
This looks delicious. Pinning for later. I would need to modify it for the crock pot though.
Looks great! Planning to double for a group of 12. Do you think the flavors would go well with cornbread?
Yum!! I’m definitely going to make this soon!!
Okay so I’m a local like you and can’t seem to find Boves marinara sauce! I’m a HyVee regular also and I couldn’t find it there. I’m dying to make this so I’ll probably substitute with something else for my first attempt. But your recommendations are usually spot on so I will go searching – just push me in the right direction. :)
This soup was so good and fast! Perfect week night meal for the working household … bonus- leftovers for the week :)
Another perfect recipe, Kristin! I used Mario Batali pasta sauce and added in Ditali pasta. Making this again for sure! Thank you :)
We really enjoyed this. I live in Texas and couldn’t find Bove’s, so I used Newman’s Own marinara and it was great. Also added some diced zucchini at the end + red pepper flakes. The best part was how easy it was, and how few dishes I dirtied in the process!
Just made this for lunch an holy yum! So excited for leftovers for lunches!
[…] but it’s still not too warm for some yummy soup! I had the meat ingredients in my freezer for Italian Sausage, Spinach, and Tomato Soup, so when I went food shopping yesterday I picked up the rest of the ingredients because the last […]

Marinara sauce and chicken broth combo is so delicious. I ate this soup every day and plan to make again this week. All your recipes rock!
Thank you so much, Barbara! :)
Wow- time flies! I made your Spicy Tomato and Turkey Soup with Ditalini the day you posted it and loved it! I made this for my work lunches this week and it’s delicious! I’m saving adding the spinach for the morning of and hoping the microwave will wilt it enough when I reheat it at lunchtime. Fortunately my grocery store offers plenty of low sodium/low sugar sauces compared to five years ago. Thank you for another great recipe!
So glad you love it, Colleen! I LOVE how this soup reheats – perfect for lunches!
[…] Italian Sausage, Spinach and Tomato Soup from Kristin of Iowa Girl Eats […]
Steve first made this soup and I loved it. We make it at least once a month and it’s now our go to for bringing to friends who have babies or are home sick!!!
Where do you find this marinara sauce?
This soup is outrageously good! The amount of flavor that comes from the simple ingredient list is amazing. We use all sausage (versus the turkey and sausage combo.) I’ve make it with both spicy and mild and it’s equally as good both ways. This is a family favorite now and it is currently on weekly rotation. PS, all of your soups that we have tried are really good!
Love this! Making it today for family dinner. Serving with grilled cheese sandwiches. What do you think of the addition of two cloves of garlic along with the shallots?
Sounds delicious – go for it! :)

Wow!! Yum!! Yum!! Yum!! This is so good!! And it’s easy and fast to make! My kind of meal on many levels. Thanks for another great recipe!
Yay!! So glad you loved it, Kristine! This is one of our very favorite quick weeknight dinners too. :)
Good day, this recipe has become one of my go to favourites. My question, is do you have the nutritional breakdown for this recipe. Thank you in advance.
That looks very good. Trying it.
Omg this is a winner!!! I didn’t have any jarred sauce but I swapped with tomato soup. Hearty and just what is needed on a rainy day!
I make it with ground turkey over and over…my favorite of all your recipes!
Ah, I love that, Barbara! We adore this soup recipe too. Thank you so much for your feedback and recipe rating!
Hey Kristin! The link above for the original spicy ditalini turkey soup seems to not be working…can you please update it? Thank you!
