Our dear friend and gracious dinner host Carol Horlock recently served this simple and flavorful soup. Upon request, she cordially offered permission to post her recipe on my website.
Ingredients are uncomplicated and easy to assemble. Mild and hot Italian sausages are cooked and combined with fresh vegetables, herbs, wine, tomato, beef broth, and simmered.
When ready to serve, she spoons cooked pasta, a drizzle of olive oil, and grated parmigiana cheese in the bottom of individual serving bowls. Finished soup is carefully ladled over.
This technique helps keep pasta from overcooking by sitting in the hot soup, and the parmigiana from clouding the richness of soup’s clear broth.
Served with chunks of warm crusty bread. “Make sure to tell guests dipping is encouraged”.
