A delicious and hearty soup with sausage, beans, and vegetables that is thick enough to make a meal! I serve this with a side of Italian bread with butter or extra virgin olive oil, oregano, toasted garlic, and basil to taste.
Ready in: 1 hour 50 mins

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 1 hour 20 mins

1. Coat the bottom of a large pot with cooking spray or olive oil and allow to heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, and carrots and saute for 6 to 7 minutes or until onions are soft.
2. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and water and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium low and add remaining vegetables, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Allow to simmer.
3. Cut up sausage into small bite-sized pieces and fry with crushed red pepper until fully cooked. Then, add to vegetables. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for one hour. Add pasta and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
