It has been quite awhile since I posted any new recipes. As we are having some very cool rainy weather after highs in the 90's this past weekend, have decided to make some soup today.
Here's a recipe that I got from one of the local wineries in our area. It is so good, so thank you D'Art Winery.
I've also added carrots, zucchini and squash.
RUSTIC TUSCAN SOUP:
Ingredients:
1 Medium Onion
1 Package of Sweet Italian Sausages
2 Regular Size Bottles of Marinara/Spaghetti Sauce
1 10oz can Kidney Beans
1 10 oz can White Beans
1 - 10oz can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
1 - 10oz bag Frozen Tiny Whole Green Beans or 1/2 Package of Fresh Green Beans cut into quarters
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
2 Cloves Garlic
3 Tablespoons Minors Beef Broth Paste or 1/2 Can of Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Cups of Cooked Penne Paste
Directions:
Dice onion, Sauteʼ in Olive Oil and add the Italian Seasoning. Then add the Garlic along with the Sausages and cook until done.
Drain and transfer over to a Crock Pot.
Next add Marinara/Spaghetti Sauce, veggies, broth paste and water if you are using Minor's Beef Broth Paste. If using a liquid beef broth, you do not need to add water.
Add the veggies (except canned beans) and cook for about 1-2 hours on High. If you are using fresh vegetables make sure they are cooked (ie carrots, celery, etc). Then add the canned beans and cook on Medium about 1-2 hours.
Cook the pasta according the package directions.
Add a little bit of pasta to a bowl and then add soup and sprinkle some cheese over the top.
Serve with some bread and Enjoy!!!
