  9. Turn heat to medium-low and add in chopped spinach. Mix and let cook until wilted and cooked into soup
  10. Taste- Add Salt and Pepper to taste, if needed
  11. Ready to serve, or let simmer on stove until ready to serve.

Notes

Sausage- You can use Breakfast Sausage or Italian Sausage. Or Mild or Hot. Try out your favorites!
Mushrooms- This one is completely optional, but I feel it does add a great addition. 
Leftovers- Can be kept stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. We never have that happen because it is usually gone within the first 2 days. 
Tasting- Make sure you taste it before serving. Sometimes your beef broth or sausage didn't have enough salt to add to the dish, and you may need to add a bit more. I usually add a little salt and pepper to everything.
