Italian Soup

Since I am running out of interesting things to say, I thought I would post a recipe. I sort of made this up the other day and it turned out really well, Alexa loved it, she even ate the meat, and as most of you know, she is mostly vegetarian.

1 lb mild Italian sausage (or I suppose you could use spicy)
1 can white beans (14.5 oz?)
1 can tomato sauce (14.5 oz)
1 can diced tomatos (14.5 oz)
1 small zuccini diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms (I used those ones that look like button mushrooms but with dark brown tops)
a bunch of fresh spinach
basil, thyme, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper, crushed red pepper if you like (I do)

I took the sausage out of the skins and fried it like ground beef, then add the mushrooms and cook until much of the water is released. Then I added the zuccini and sauteed a bit. Then the tomatos and beans and a little extra water or chicken broth. Then I tore up bits of the spinach and put it in. Then add the spices to taste. I recommend being generous with the spices. Most of you know that dried spices do not go bad really, but they do get weaker. In fact you are supposed to buy only the amount of any given spice that will be used within a year. I have to admit I have spices in my cupboard that have been there for years.
I also added a little Parmesan to top this, and served with Parmesan toast, but that was very non-low-carb of me!
