A great Sunday soup


1 tbsp olive oil
3 sausages  either hot Italian,mild Italian,chirizo,chicken or turkey  slice into 1/2 pieces
1 zucchini finely chopped
2 rib celery diced
2 carrots chopped
1 clove garlic
5 leaves fresh basil
2 cups diced tomatoes
2 cups spinach or 1 cup chopped frozen
1 can cannelini beans drained and rinsed
8 cups of low salt chicken stock
2 cups cooked farfelle pasta  cook separate  leave separate
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

in a large soup pot heat oil and add sausage
stirring and cooking about 5 minutes
add celery,carrot,garlic,zucchini  cook 5 minutes
add tomatoes and stir to get all the bits off the bottom of pot. That's flavour!
add chicken stock
stir and let simmer for 30-45 minutes

I put pasta in each soup bowl and ladle the hot soup over the top.
We don't like mushy pasta in our house.
Sprinkle with cheese and finely chopped basil.

Enjoy
