Pasta Sausage Soup Recipe

"Our family looks forward to a pot of soup every Saturday," writes Janet Eggers of Pound, Wisconsin. "This one ranks high at our house because the flavor is sooo good! The wonderful aroma of Italian seasonings simmering always brings folks to the table. The soup's nicely spiced, and the turkey sausage makes it a little lighter."

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it’s time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I’m going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana

Very good soup. I never tried a pasta/sausage soup before and will definately make this again. I make my own Italian turkey sausage (also found in TOH Light & Tasty; 2003, p.131) and the soup turned out very well.

This is a great soup. My family loves it! You can use a hot Italian sausage with this too and it is also delicious. Make sure you don't add too much pasta as it will turn out more of a pasta dish then a soup.
