Loved this soup!! I used some left over 16 bean soup for the beans (made the beans yesterday and hated to waste food) and added half a pound of ground sweet Italian Sausage. I used frozen spinich as well. I will make this again!! May even make a batch to share with the elderly shut-ins at church this Winter.

Made this soup to go with my roast beef sandwiches. So good. Did exactly as recipe said and had plenty for 6 servings. Need to stir up the contents so everyone gets plenty of pasta and beans. (Did use the 2 cans of beans rather than a cup and a half.)
