How to Make Italian Sausage And Pepper Soup

  1. Prick 1 lb Italian sausage links several times with a fork to prevent bursting.
  2. Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
  3. Add the sausage and 1/2 cup of water to the skillet.
  4. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned (about 10-12 minutes).
  5. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate to cool slightly.
  6. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 bell peppers (any color, chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  7. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  9. Once cooled, remove the casings from the sausages and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  10. Add the sliced sausage to the soup pot.
  11. Stir in 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 bouillon cubes (chicken or vegetable), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  12. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  13. Add 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni) and simmer until the pasta is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  14. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese (optional).
