Is there anything better than soup for dinner when the weather cools off? We have several family favorites, but my aunt's recipe for Italian Sausage Soup is on the top of that list!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. Italian Sausage (if using links, remove the casing)
olive oil
1 large onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
4 lbs. fresh tomatoes peeled and cut in wedges or 2 28oz cans dices tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice (add more at the end to get desired consistency)
1 1/2 lbs. zucchini (diced)
2 green peppers (diced)
1 cup celery (diced)
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
shredded mozzarella to garnish
Brown the sausage and onion in a bit of olive oil, then drain off the grease.

Brown the sausage and onion in a bit of olive oil, then drain off the grease.
Chop the zucchini, green pepper and celery. The Pampered Chef handheld food processor makes this step so easy!
Chop your tomatoes or rinse from the cans. I like to dice my tomatoes super small, but some people prefer them chopped.
Combine veggies in a large soup pot.
Add seasonings and browned sausage. I topped this batch with a little fresh basil from the garden. I like to let this soup simmer for a few hours to distribute the flavors.
Ladle into bowls, top with mozzarella cheese and enjoy! Add a salad and garlic bread and you've got a meal!
I know your family will love this as much as we do!
