Sausage Minestra

Tonight was a rather spicy soup for dinner. Some Italian sausage links were cut into slices and sauteed in oil until browned. Some diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasonings and crushed red pepper were added and cooked until the onion was soft. The pan was deglazed with white wine and allowed to cook down until almost evaporated. Chicken broth and chopped tomatoes were added along with some orzo and cooked until the pasta was done. A fair amount of fresh chopped spinach was stirred in until wilted and the soup was ready. The soup was delicious and really quite spicy.

Our side dish was a Romaine Salad with a Creamy Parmesan dressing. The salad did a nice job of cooling off the spice from the soup. It was a great combination!
