Hearty Sausage Minestrone image

This recipe was on the back of a box of Ditalini (short salad macaroni) that I bought years ago. It includes a few changes we've made over the years that we think makes it even tastier. I often make a triple batch, and I freeze the leftovers for the kids to reheat on nights that we're not available to cook fresh meals....

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground italian sausage
1/2 cup diced onion
2 stalk(s) celery, diced
1/2 cup ditalini (short salad macaroni)
16-oz can white cannellini kidney beans
1 (14.5oz) can(s) low-sodium beef broth
1 (14.5oz) can(s) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 small zucchini, diced

Steps:

  • 1. In a stockpot or Dutch oven, cook sausage with onions and celery over medium heat until sausage is browned, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon during cooking. Drain excess grease, if desired.
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients to pot, and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until the pasta is soft and zucchini is tender. Serve immediately.
