Directions: |
Directions:Cook the Italian Sausage, onions and leeks in the oil or butter in a large dutch oven or soup pot.
Add all the other ingredients except the pasta and parmesan cheese, bring to a boil then reduce the heat and let simmer on low heat for at least an hour. I usually let mine simmer for 3-4 hours.
15-20 minutes before serving, add the pasta and bring it back to a boil until the pasta is cooked al dente. You may need to add water if the soup gets too thick.
Serve with shredded parmesan over the top. |
