Low Fat Italian Wedding Soup

Lean Turkey Sausage (spicy Italian if you can find it), 16 oz
Low Sodium Chicken Broth, 4 cups
Canned Tomatoes 1 - 12 oz Can
Spinach, fresh, 3 cups chopped
Water 12 oz
Jasmine or scented rice, 1 cup uncooked
Fresh lemon juice, 1/2 of a lemon squeezed or to taste
Fresh chopped basil, 1 Tbsp or to taste

Cut the casing away from the sausage, break it into little bite-sized balls and fry it in a large soup pot. When it;s cooked through, add 3 cups of finely chopped spinach and fry for another minute or so. Puree the tomotoes then add them along with the chicken broth, water, and rice. You can add a little fresh lemon juice and some fresh chopped basil to taste. Simmer just until the rice is done - take care to not overcook as this will make the rice mushy. To increase the fibre content, you can use brown rice instead of the Jasmine. Makes 10 - 1 cup servings

Number of Servings: 10
