here's the recipe with some modifications I made... It was amazing, I changed the recipe for my tastes and needs. It really is great and very hearty with the way I made it... I also put it in the crock pot. I will share the link so you can see the original recipe as well.
It made 12 1 cup servings (of which I could only eat 1/2 to 3/4 of, I just find measuring it one cup servings makes it easier in myfitness pal).. my husband ate it as well, (after he let me measure it all lol, he's such a trooper) which says a lot...
Shelly's Italian Beef & Bean Soup (modified)
1 lb. Ground Beef (90/10)
1/2lb lean Jenni-o turkey Breakfast sausage in the tube
1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 1/2 tablespoon smart balance light buttery spread with flax
1 medium yellow Onion, chopped
2 Green Onions, chopped
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning (0r more to taste)
1 tsp splenda
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 15 oz cans of Beans, not drained (I used a combo of cannelini and northern beans)
4 cups Beef Stock (reduced sodium)
3/4 cup Tomato Sauce
2 teaspoon Tomato Paste
1 box frozen Spinach
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Pepper
Sauté onions and garlic in spread/oil and cook until golden about 10 minutes. Add beef and sausage brown together, Add the minced and Italian Seasonings and stir to coat the onions let cook for 2 minutes or so but stir constantly so it does not burn. Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot, then add the beef/turkey/onion mixture. Cook on low in the crock pot for about 4 hours until warm and bubbly. (you can let it go longer if you need to, the longer they are together the more the flavors meld).
Nutrition information.... makes approximately 12 one cup servings (adjust with that based on needs like I said I can only eat 1/2 to 3/4's of a cup at a time) it is very hearty... I would recommend measuring for yourself I do all the time no matter the recipe. ( I put every ingredient into myfittness pal)
