This was fantastic for a rainy May day. I doubled the recipe and added a mushroom blend of shitake oyster and portabellas plus some fresh shelled peas for a little more green. I also substituted kale for some of the spinach. The broth is delicious. I may make this without the sausage the next time and just use a larger amount of mushrooms. Wonderful stew.
Delicious Filling and Warming for your body I made this stew on a chilly November evening and it smells great when cooking. I had to use sweet Italian sausage instead of hot so I added a tsp. of crushed red pepper when I started cooking. I used 1 1/2 cups Marsala wine instead of white (that's all I had on hand) chopped fresh kale instead of spinach and Chick Peas instead of Cannolini beans and it still came out tasting sooo hearty and delicious. I made toasted garlic bread to compliment the stew very tasty. Give it a try the family will enjoy it on a cold day! Pros: Very flavorful even though I had to improvise some ingredients Cons: May need 1 more sausage for men's tastes
Very easy to prepare recipe. I made this for my family (husband 4 and 5 year old) and they requested that I add this to the repeat list. I used fresh dill and al fresco sweet italian sausage. The flavors were very fresh. The potatoes and the sausage gave a slight heartiness to the stew but the spinach leeks and dill kept the flavors of summer. Loved it.
Easy to make Easy to make good flavor but I found the spice from the hot Italian turkey sausage too over powering. I would make next time with a few modifications: sweet turkey Italian sausage more broth (about 8-12 oz) and a second can of beans. Pros: Flavor veggie based Cons: Too spicy for me needs more beans
I tossed everything in the instapot for 10 minutes. I omitted the sausage as I didn't have any on hand and used Black eyed peas instead of cannellini beans. I also used all of the leek instead of adding spinach as I didn't have any handy. I did add some Italian-sausage-type-seasonings such as caraway seed and basic Italian seasonings. Perfect soup on a cold night!
This is light and satisfying at the same time. Next time I will double the sausage as my husband complained that it was too light on the meat (didn't bother me though). Pros: Soul-warming comfort food Cons: NULL
My kids (6 and 4) and my picky husband all thought this was delicious. I also used frozen spinach and didn't use the scallions since I forgot to get them. The turkey sausage and leeks were an excellent combination. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.
I used a mild Italian sausage and added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Also subbed onion for the leeks. This was great for our cooling weather and satisfied my craving for something "soup-y."
Tasty and Satisfying This recipe was easy to make and relatively quick. The prep time took a bit but it wasn't a pain. The aroma from all the ingredients permeates throughout the kitchen as you're cooking it which is an awesome thing. It's a great meal for those cold days when you need a good warm up. My wife loved it and asked if I would make it again she's hooked and so am I. Pros: Easy to make quick hearty
