Hot
soup and hot toasted bread with butter warms the climate of winter at home and on vacation.
You
will need to buy/have on hand: chicken of beef stock, sweet Italian
sausage, two small zucchini, celery, one onion, one medium can of
Italian diced tomatoes unless you have fresh frozen;
and of course, tortellini, bow tie or a wide egg noodle pasta.
Fill
a large pot
with either chicken/beef (4 cups) stock, start it to boil and add cubed
(skinless) Italian sausage. Reduce the heat to
med high so that the stock rolls gently and the sausage floats while
you saute in olive oil chopped onion and the zucchini in herbs. To the
stock/sausage, add one can of Italian diced tomatoes and also add the
onion and zucchini once browned.
Let this soup slowly
boil on med low heat for 60 min, partially covered. Cook your choice of pasta on
the side to be added to individual bowls.
Once the pasta is tender,
drain and spoon into individual bowls, top with soup, sprinkle on the
Parmesan cheese and put out toasted Italia bread with fresh creamy butter.
