Directions:1. Remove sausage from casing and crumble into bite-sized pieces. Brown sausage, add onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add wine, tomatoes, broth, carrots, basil, oregano and tomato sauce. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

Serve with crusty rolls or sandwiches.
The easiest way to get the casing off of sausage is to freeze the links. Then hold each link under running water, slit the casing with a sharp knife and peel the casing off of the sausage. I then cook the sausages over low heat to get them to thaw and start to cook enough that I can crumble up the sausage for the soup. |
