soup kitchen

it's definitely soup weather here in kc.

rainy and cold. 

my friend had "the girls" over to her house a couple
weeks ago and made us soup.

a kind that i had never had.

italian soup.

so last night i made it for the hubs.

and i'm still loving it.
plus it's real simple.
one of those things where you dump everything
 in a pot and let it go.

ingredients needed:

2 tbsp italian dressing

1 lb. italian sausage

2 cans fat-free chicken broth

1 can (15 oz) cannelloni beans - rinse and drain

1 can italian style diced tomatoes - undrained

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

1 16 oz pkg frozen stir fry (onion & green/yellow peppers)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

cook sausage in dressing over medium heat. (8-10 mins) add broth, beans, tomatoes and veggies.  bring to a boil.  add macaroni, reduce heat to medium.  cook another 8-10 mins.

serve with cheese sprinkled on top.

it also goes well with a sliced baguette.

mmm mmm good.

(sorry marge, my 7 day food challenge it not going as planned.)
