This soup combines cannellini beans, which are often used in Italian
cooking, with spinach, sweet peppers and sausage to create a wonderful
Italian dish.

- 1 quart vegetable broth
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1¼ tsps Italian seasoning

METHOD:
In a 3-quart stockpot, brown sausage over medium-high heat. Drain
