ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SOUP
This recipe originally came from a book that's now lost somewhere... I've made a few adjustments for my personal taste. I don't usually like bell peppers all that much, but love this recipe -- hearty, quite healthy, and works wonderfully all year 'round! Find a local farmers' market for the freshest (and cheapest) bell peppers!

Steps:
- Poke the sausage with a fork in several places, to keep them from exploding.
- Spray your skillet with cooking spray.

- 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!

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
My Mom made these often when I was growing up and I have always loved them! I think this is the most authentic and traditional way to make these.Traditional Sausage and Peppers do NOT have tomato sauce! We always ate them on Italian sub rolls with mustard but you could eat these alone with good crusty bread on the side. This serves 8 and can easily be scaled down or increased depending on how many you want to feed.
