I always look for recipes high in taste and nutrition but low on prep time and fat. This thick, chunky soup fills the bill and is such a family favorite that I serve it at least once a month! —Deborah Redfield, Buena Park, California

Ingredients

1/4 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced zucchini
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons uncooked orzo or small shell pasta

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook the sausage, mushrooms, zucchini and onion in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
