Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 large onion (chopped)
2 red bell peppers (seeded & chopped)
2 green bell peppers (seeded & chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 cups water
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup tiny pasta (i.e. orzo or alphabet pasta)

Steps:

Poke the sausage with a fork in several places, to keep them from exploding.
Spray your skillet with cooking spray.
Add sausage, and a little water.
Cook over medium-high heat until sausages are browned, turning occasionally.
(This will take about 15 minutes.) When they are finished, transfer sausages to a plate and allow them to cool.
In a soup pot, combine 2 cups of broth, the onion, the peppers, and garlic.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover and allow this to simmer about 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Remove the casings from the sausages, and slice the sausages into thin round slices.
Add them to the pot.
Add the remaining broth, water, oregano, boullion cubes, and pepper.
Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
Add the pasta and simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes.
Ladle into soup bowls and enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red bell pepper, medium diced
1 green bell pepper, medium diced
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes in tomato puree (If you can find the Italian-style diced tomatoes, even better)
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (a can of great northern beans will do, if you can't find cannellini)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Steps:

In a large heavy saucepan, over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and brown the sausage. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from pan.
Pour off any excess oil, leaving about 1 to 2 teaspoons in the pan. Stir in the onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add red wine and cook until the wine is almost all evaporated. Add the remaining ingredients, including the cooked sausage. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
