Ingredients
- 6-8 Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage Your choice
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion sliced into crescents
- 6 cups water
- 1 tbsp beef bouillon or 3 cubes
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup green pepper diced
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 small zucchini diced
- 2 oz linguine broke into 2" pieces
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Fully cook your sausage and pierce the skin. Let cool.
- While the sausage is cooking, get your mise en place out of the way. Slice your onions into crescents and dice your green pepper.
- Add the butter to the pot/dutch oven and saute the onions until soft.
- Once the onions are soft add the water, beef bouillon, tomatoes, green pepper, oregano, basil, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a full boil.
- While the mixture is heating up, cut your cooled sausage into 1/2″ rounds. Once the mixture is at a full boil add the sausage rounds, zucchini, linguine (make sure you’ve cut these into 2-inch pieces), and parmesan cheese. Reduce to the heat to simmer and cover. (This is supposed to be a healthier recipe, but here I would add some salt and let it build with the flavor.)
- Let soup cook while stirring occasionally for 30-45 minutes. You want the veggies and noodles to cook.
- Serve with a side of your favorite bread and enjoy!
Notes
You'll notice the recipe calls for no salt. If you're watching your salt intake follow the recipe BUT if you're not you'll probably want to add some. I would recommend starting with 1/2 tbsp when you add the other spices and then add more to taste.
