While visiting my sister-in-law, we had a delicious Italian soup at a local restaurant. We decided to duplicate it at home and came up with this recipe. The seasonings and types of tomatoes can be varied to suit your family’s tastes.
Ingredients:
1 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) italian diced tomatoes
1 large carrot, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1-1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1-1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
2. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the broth, beans, tomatoes, carrot, jalapeno, Italian seasoning and garlic.
3. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until heated through. Just before serving, stir in macaroni. Yield: 10 servings (3-1/2 quarts).
