Sausage Soup

This is so delicious. With a new job, new calling, and the same old four kids and a husband I have been super busy. This soup saved me last week when we needed a good dinner that was good for us. Plus, it looked so pretty in this red pan!

To make this you will need:

1/2 lb Italian Style turkey sausage
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 carrot, chopped small
1 T fresh basil, minced
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 can (28 ox) petite diced tomatoes
1 can chicken stock
1 can beans (your choice I like Great Whites)
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/3 cup parsley, chopped

Heat sausage in a non-stick skillet (I just browned mine in the bottom of this big pan.) Add garlic, onions, carrots, basil, salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and stock and bring to boil. Add beans, broccoli and parsley and simmer 5 minutes. serve topped with shredded Parmesan cheese.
