- Brown 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy) in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until browned on all sides. If using turkey sausage, use a little vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Remove sausage from skillet and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Pour off excess grease from the skillet.
- Add 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 medium zucchini (chopped), and 1 medium onion (chopped) to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In your slow cooker, combine 4 cups beef broth, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons dried basil.
- Add the browned sausage and the sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
- Serve immediately with crusty Italian bread or garlic bread for dipping.
