Only 30 Minutes to a Sausage/ Veggie Soup the Whole Family Will Enjoy.

If I have to cook, it's got to be easy and quick. I can handle this, it has some protein, veggies, good fiber and delicious.

I start with: 1 pound of ground Italian sausage.

To that, I add 1 Onion, sliced up.

A can of tomatoes, chop them up right in the can.

15 ounce can of garbanzo beans, drained.

10 1/2 oz. of canned beef broth, or stock.

1 1/2 cup of water.

2 yellow squash, sliced into shoestring pieces. Mine are usually rather messy, but you want them smallish to cook quickly.

1/2 teaspoon dried basil, or a couple of Tablespoons of fresh if you have (cut up).

Remember to grab the Parm cheese out of the refrig for a garnish.

In a larger saucepan, brown the meat with the onions, stir well and drain off any fat. Add the chopped tomatoes, beans, broth, water, squash and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 6 minutes until the squash is tender. Fill your soup bowls and sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Or better yet, add some cheesy bread on top! Simple and delish.
