Cook sausage, onions and garlic in oil in large saucepan for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the next 4 ingredients (or 5 if you are adding carrots, or 6 if you are adding carrots and V-8 juice) and bring to a boil. Stir in pasta and cook 8 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach and cover. Let stand 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese.

Personal Notes:
So OK. This recipe appeared on the side of a box of Premium Crackers. Never mind its origin, it is a wonderful soup. You just need to hope there will be leftovers. It is better the next day and even better on the third day. Heat a bowl of the leftover soup gently. Eat and weep.
