This is great on a cold day. It goes really well with crusty bread. It's my favorite winter soup Ingredients:
2 tblspns olive oil |
1 clove garlic |
dash red pepper flakes |
1 can chopped tomatoes (with juice) |
1 can chicken stock (or vegetable stock) |
1 small head of broccoli |
1 can cannellini beans |
1/2 lb of italian sausage |
1/4 cup red wine (optional) |
small pasta (elbow, farfalle, shells, etc.) |
salt and pepper to taste |
pecorino romano or parmesan cheese |
*if you don't like broccoli, you can easily substitute spinach or escarole or some other green leafy veggie if you like |
**great white northern beans can be substituted for cannelini beans |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan.
2. Once oil is hot brown garlic and red pepper in olive oil
