Fall has made herself known. Hearty soups and crusty breads are on the menu in our homes. This soup was served at the Womens' Broadcast in September. I will make this soup several times throughout the winter. It is so healthy and filling. I even have one more zucchini from my garden to use in the next batch. Enjoy!
Minestrone Soup
Remove casing, break up and fry 3 Johnsonville sweet italian sausage, or use sausage of your choice.
Simmer on low heat:
32 oz diced or crushed tomatoes
3 Tb tomato paste

1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp thyme

1 cup carrots
1 med onion
1 cup celery
In a separate pan, cook 1 1/4 cup pasta.
Add to tomato mixture:

When pasta and vegetables are cooked, add all of the ingredients together in one large pan, adjusting the thickness of the soup with the vegetable broth and with the pasta water, if necessary.

Cook on medium heat until heated through. Serve with Parmesan cheese grated on each bowlful.
