I know I have been on a soup/ stew kick lately, but I just can't help it. This time of year just screams for delicious one pot meals and when done right, a one pot meal can be a healthy and balanced meal option. This recipe is a good one for those that "swear they can't cook." You can make this soup and wow your family and friends!
This meal can be gluten free if the right ingredient choices are made. This recipe does have pasta, so just grab your favorite GF pasta. I opted for a whole wheat bow tie pasta. Don't choose a spaghetti type pasta. Opt for a smaller, thicker pasta. Also, check ingredients on your sausage for traces of gluten.
My favorite packaged tomato produces are made by Muir Glen Organic. Their cans are all BPA free and state gluten free right there on the label. They don't add in unnecessary ingredients as fillers. If you can't jar your own, Muir Glen Organic is the next best thing.
Hubs opted to add some mozzarella cheese on top which looked delicious! Some days I so wish I could enjoy cheese on top of things. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
Italian Pasta Soup
DF
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chopped basil
about 1 1/4 lb Italian sausage, casings removed (I used turkey sausage)
1 14 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
15 oz can tomato sauce
1/2, 6 oz can tomato paste
3/4 T dried Italian seasoning
32 oz low sodium chicken broth
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
8 oz your favorite pasta
What to do:
Chop your basil.
In a large dutch oven or pot, brown your sausage until almost completely cooked through. If your sausage is sticking a bit too much, add a splash of your chicken broth.
Add in fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, onion power, salt, and pepper. Include juices from fire roasted tomatoes.
Stir it all together.
Pour in your chicken broth and stir one more time.
Bring the mixture up to a boil and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
Add in your pasta of choice and allow to cook until al dente (check box for cooking times).
That's it! Top your soup with the chopped basil and parmesan or mozzarella cheese (if you're one of the lucky ones) and grab a spoon!
Thanks Y'all!
