Another Use for Italian Sausage

I think I've mentioned this one before. The package of sweet Italian turkey sausage we bought had six links, and I used three to make a sauce for polenta (took it out of the casing). Last night I used the other three to make mini meatballs for a sausage, spinach and cannellini bean soup. I just split the sausages, rolled the meat into balls and dropped them into boiling broth (sauteed onions and garlic, then added 6 cups water and a 2-cup bouillon cube) to cook.

Right before we were ready to eat I added half a box of chopped frozen spinach and a drained can of cannellini beans. Topped soup in bowls with grated Parmesan. Another quickie!
