Homemade Sausage Soup
1 (1lb ish) package of Italian sausage links - often have in my freezer. Mild and hot both work well
1 finely chopped onion
Crumble sausage and brown with onion in stockpot
Add one large can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes and one can equivalent of chicken broth.
Bring to a boil. Once boiling add 1/2 cup ortzo pasta and desired herbs/spices, reduce to a summer and 20 minutes later...eat.
I think make this practically once a week since it is so easy and it's all pantry/freezer stock in my house.
