Amish Chili Soup

Definitely NOT Tex Mex! :-) My grandmother always added broken spaghetti noodles to her chili, but she used ground beef instead of sausage.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs bulk sausage
• 2  medium onions, sliced
• 3  cups tomato juice
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
• 1  tablespoon chili powder
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar (1/4 to 1/2 cup)
•  salt and pepper, to taste
• 1⁄2 cup  broken pieces of dried spaghetti noodles (1/2 to 1 cup)

Directions

1. Brown the sausage and onion in a deep pot and then drain off the fat, returning the meat and onions back to the pan.
2. Add the remaining ingredients, except the spaghetti, stir well, and bring to a boil.
3. Add the spaghetti to the soup and cook until spaghetti is done, about 5 to 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
