My Favorite Soup

I got this idea from my friend Michelle's blog.  It made me think of my favorite cool weather recipes.

Gonnuscio's Italian Vegetable Soup

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup sliced carrots

15 oz. tomato sauce

1 to 2 quart tomatoes

15 oz. can kidney beans

2 cups water

1 tsp. oregano, dried

5 tsp. beef boullion

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. basil, dried

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. pepper

parsley, fresh is best

4 bun size sausages, sliced (John Morrell brand)

Add all the above listed ingredients together an boil.  Cover and simmer 20 minutes.  Add more broth or water if you prefer thinner soup.

Before serving add:

1 cup macaroni

1/2 cup frozen corn

1 cup frozen green beans

Cook 5-10 minutes.

Serve with parmesan cheese.

I love the flavor of this soup and it is great with garlic bread.  I'll post more recipes later.  Enjoy!
