Tips

This soup was calculated using 5 servings. Use a lower - fat sausage to cut more calories. Or use none { ! } and use vegetable broth or tomato juice for a vegetarian soup. Parmesan cheese not included in the calculations.


Directions

Saute all vegetables and spices, in order given, in olive oil. When veggies begin to stick, start adding a little broth. Add sausages. Stir and watch for about 5 min., then add tomatoes, beans, chicken broth, bouillon, and S and P. Let simmer until all the veggies are soft, ab. 2 hrs for flavors to meld. Then add dry pasta. Cook until done. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
