My sister sent me this recipe to include in the Frugal Food Series: Beans.
We tried this last weekend, it was good! I used a block of frozen spinach, because I had it on hand. Next time I’ll crumble the sausage so the kids won’t pick it out! It made so much for us that I froze half.

1 (14 ounce) can fat free chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
In a large sauacepan or dutch oven over medium heat cook sausage, chicken, onion, and garlic in oil until sausage is no longer pink.
Add spinach, beans, tomatoes (with their liquid), broth, and crushed red pepper flakes – bring to a boil.
Reduce heat – simmer 20 minutes (or longer!) to blend flavors.
Sprinkle individual servings with cheese.
PS – sometimes I like to use hot turkey sausage, it really kicks it up!
