Loved it. Needed a quick dinner on a cold day and this was just right.

This was delicious!! There was a huge sale on sweet sausage so I was just trying to find recipes to use it up. I think this will now become a regular in our dinner rotation! The only complaint from people was that they wished there was a more broth (the sausage adds such a nice flavor to the broth!). Thank you!!

Delicious soup! As a previous reviewer, I used vegetarian Italian sausages as well as whole wheat bow tie pasta. I followed the recipe as written. DD and I both thought that next time I should add some veggies to this excellent soup. Made for Aus/NZ RECIPE SWAP #21
