I’ve had (and made) this Italian Sausage & Pasta Soup recipe for about two years now. It originally came from Sunset magazine (circa 2003), but I was given the recipe by a lady a met in the grocery store. It was evident by her cart that she was planning on making a soup. We got to chatting and she so graciously shared her family’s favorite soup recipe with me. To this day, it is one of my favorites!

Italian Sausage & Pasta Soup

It is such a hearty and flavorful soup! It is also very easy to make. It also freezes well, which is a good thing, because it makes a very large pot!  **pasta may get a little “mushy” if frozen, but I’ve frozen it plenty of times and it is just as delicious (just not quite so pretty).
