Italian Sausage Soup image

This recipe is a little bit different than all the other Italian Sausage Soup recipes that I see posted here. While it is rather rustic in appearance, it tastes elegant enough for entertaining. A pot of this on the stove, a crusty loaf of bread, and a nice glass of wine will soothe your soul on any winter night!
