Everybody loved it! I used a package of Italian pork sausage, the kind that looks like ground beef. I left out the red wine as we don’t drink. It was luscious and filling.
EASY, HEALTHY, AND DELICIOUS!
I thought it was just ok. Won’t make it again.
I used Butterball turkey sausage (in the breakfast area of the grocery store). Added some mushrooms, used a splash of red wine vinegar instead of red wine. Excellent!! I bet it will be even better for leftovers tomorrow.
I used Italian Sweet sausage and I also added Frozen mixed bell peppers and 1/2 bag of baby carrots. I added a can of green beans and I replaced the wine with gourmet red wine vinegar. Very delicious!
Great recipe! I had to make a few substitutions because of my limited ingredients selection during this pandemic. I used mixed veggies and the organic spring salad mix from Walmart. And I used regular mild italia to sausage and added two chicken thighs! Oh, and I cook with beer instead of wine, don’t hate me lol. My husband loved it! And that’s all that matters to me!
I substituted turkey sausage for the chicken and found it much more flavorful that way.
Simple and delicious. Will def make again.
Easy and delicious. I always make it as the recipes states and it’s wonderful every time.
Used andouille instead…. added some spice to it.
Loved this recipe! Went looking for a recipe to use up some leftover cooked Tuscan chicken and stumbled across this easy, quick and healthy dish. Used 2 links of HEB brand Italian chicken sausage along with the 2 chicken breasts and left everything else the same. I bet it’ll be even better tomorrow!
I was watching a program on TV. He was making soup. I felt like making soup and found this recipe. I used all the items and added mushrooms and colored spiral noodles. OMG this hit the spot. This is the ultimate comfort food/soup. The taste was fantastic. Very filling. I had 4 bowl fulls, of course at 3 different sitting on the same day. Piggy piggy but it was so good.
Simple yet yummy
One of the best Italian chicken sausage soups. Loved it!!!
One of the easiest and best soups I have made.
As with any recipe, I did not follow it word for word, but it was delish! And easy, to boot. It’s a keeper. (I used 2 zucchini instead of 1 yellow squash, used 48 oz broth, and cut the onion in garlic in half per my family’s tastebuds.)
This recipe sounded so good and got such good ratings, but it was really lacking in flavor. The only change I made was that I added extra broth so it made a little more. I would not make it again.
This was fabulous. Didn’t have red wine on hand so used 3T of balsamic vinegar and sautéed the onions in that rather than just put it in with the broth. Didn’t have squash so omitted and I think maybe it made it even better. I like squash but the flavors/ingredients here were absolutely perfect. Also I increased broth to 48 oz and let it simmer for 30 mins before adding spinach and then simmer for 15 more. Perfection.
I had a really hard time finding Italian chicken sausage, so I bought a plain chicken sausage and made this recipe. I didn’t have a yellow squash, so I used a zucchini instead, but otherwise followed the recipe. We liked this, but I have to say, the chicken sausage I used was totally flavorless and I think the soup would have been a lot better had I used sweet or hot Italian sausage. That, of course, is no fault of the recipe. So, if I make this again, I’ll use regular Italian sausage, hot would be my preference, or a hot Italian turkey sausage that we like.
This was delicious, a big hit with everyone in the house. My son had a bowl for breakfast he loved it so much! The whole batch was gone by day 2.
I like more spice as well, but that’s just my preference.
