This is a family tradition when the zucchinis are ready. This soup has won first prize in our local county fair. It's not to strongly zucchini flavored, and has a fabulous italian flavor. I have NEVER found anyone who dislikes this soup, try it you'll see!! Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs sweet italian sausage |
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth |
1 -2 onion, chopped |
1 green pepper, chopped |
2 -3 thin sliced unpeeled zucchini (you'll have to eyeball this one, because zucchini come in so many sizes!) |
2 fresh minced garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon chopped dried parsley |
1 teaspoon dry basil |
1 teaspoon dry oregano |
1 -2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Fry sausage in a soup pan, drain
2. Add all other ingerdients except water.
3. Add water in a cup at a time, I add 2 cups, then if after cooking the soup looks a bit thick, I add more.
4. Reduce heat and allow the soup to simmer 2-3 hours, or until the zucchini is tender and transparent.
5. Serve with a yummy crusty Italian bread, or garlic bread!
