CREAMY TOMATO, BASIL & ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP


This recipe from Picky Palate is SUPER delicious, quick and easy.

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 lb Italian Sausage 10 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade (stacked, rolled and thinly sliced)

1 26 oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce or homemade sauce (click red link to see the Mezzetta sauce I used)

1 Cup water

1 1/2 Cups half and half

Pinch of salt and pepper

Place olive oil into a medium sized dutch oven over medium heat. Cook sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil leaves, pasta sauce, water, half and half, salt and pepper. Cook until warm then reduce heat to low. Simmer until ready to serve. It’s that easy!
