How To Make garden vege soup (a little bit italian)

  • Step 1
    Cook on high/medium heat all together the Italian sausage, chopping it well, onion, green pepper and zucchini in a large skillet. Cook until very well done, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or a little more.
  • Step 2
    Then add 3 cups beef broth, the stewed tomatoes, basil, parsley. Add 1/2 cup orzo pasta. Stir until well mixed.
  • Step 3
    Cook uncovered on high until boiling then medium until orzo is well done, a minimum of 20 minutes or as desired. Stir occasionally. Once I had to delay serving for one hour and it still turned out great. I double this recipe when serving more than 3 hearty eaters! It is a meal in itself.
  • Step 4
    It will be pretty thick for soup.
