I was visiting my daughter and she made this amazing soup. It is a smart choice for dinner, low in fat and sodium if made with Italian Turkey sausage and low sodium broths. It warms you on a cold night and keeps you full till mornings light. Manga!

-
4Stir in tomatoes, salt and pepper. Serve the soup topped with a drizzle of EVOO.

5*** As a shortened step or to avoid those that don't like chopped sage you can avoid chopping the sage and add the entire stalk to the soup. Then when the soup is finished remove the entire stalk and serve.
