Whip up a savory one-pot soup with meat, beans, and pasta for a comforting and filling meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 lb bulk sweet Italian sausage
  • 2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 5 1/4 cups Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from two 32-oz cartons)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15.5 oz) great northern beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup uncooked small elbow macaroni (3 1/2 oz)
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
  • 1 cup frozen cut green beans
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, carrots, basil, and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  • Combine broth, tomatoes, and great northern beans with the sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the macaroni, zucchini, and frozen green beans in the pot. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are hot and the macaroni is tender.
