I added half Italian sausage and ground beef. It was perfect this way. My hubby threatened to eat the whole pot in 1 setting.lol

Super easy! I added 50/50 chicken stock and beef stock as well as red wine to deglaze the cooked vegies! Simmered for an hour. Cooled and put in fridge. Next day heated, added beans & pasta. Everyone loved it and thought I cooked all day!
How many servings does this make? Cause I don’t see it.
I saute milde Italian sausage and add to the soup before I simmer it. The flavors complement each other and it make the soup heartier. I also use spinach instead of arugula, as my wife and I both prefer the taste.
Are you supposed to cover for 30 minutes or leave the pot lid off?
Ugh
So delicious!!
Sounds good would like to try it . Yummy
I use Spicy Johnsonville ground sausage, tomato sauce and V8. Not broth. More carrots and celery. I do not add the pasta while cooking. I use cooked ditalini individually when soup is served. Love this soup. Hearty.
I used ground mild italian sausage made into tiny meatballs smells absolutely amazing in my house.
