This is a great, hearty soup that full of flavor!

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil

1 lb pork sausage

2 carrots – chopped

2-3 celery stalks – chopped

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp basil

1 tsp rosemary

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

2 large cartons of chicken broth (around 64 oz)

2 cans of diced tomatoes with juices

2 cans of kidney beans – rinsed

1/2 box macaroni noodles

First, chop up the onion, carrots and celery.

Next, brown the sausage and the vegetables with the olive oil in a large soup pot.

While the meat and vegetables are cooking, empty the bean cans into a strainer and rinse the beans.

Add the spices to the meat mixture and mix well.

Add the tomatoes, beans and chicken broth.  Stir well, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to LOW.  Cook for 20-30 minutes or until all vegetables are soft.

After the vegetables are cooked through, add the macaroni noodles.  Bring the soup to a boil once more and then reduce heat to cook the noodles until they are soft.

Once the noodles have cooked thoroughly, it is time to serve!

The leftovers can easily be stored in freezer safe, plastic containers for dinner another night!
