Hearty Sausage Soup

This spicy belly warming soup is tasty and filling. It has just the right amount of heat for my liking.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound GF Italian sausage

2 stalks celery with leaves, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 carrot, diced

1/2 pound potatoes, diced

1 cup diced turnip

1 can (540 ml) Aylmer spicy red pepper and petite cut tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth (I use Knorr)

1 bay leaf

DIRECTIONS

Remove the casings from the sausage and place in a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot along with the onions; cook until meat is no longer pink.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer for a couple of hours.

Remove bay leaf and ladle into bowls.

Enjoy!
