Tuscan Soup

A quick soup filled with good for you veggies!



You'll need:
- 1 pound of Italian sausage (not links)
- 1/2 to 3/4 of an yellow onion, chopped
- 1 bunch of chard, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 7 cups water
- 2 chicken bullion cubes
- salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or equivalent of fresh basil, thyme, rosemary, etc)

1. Cook the sausage in a pot over medium-high until no longer pink. Once it starts turning golden brown, add the onion & garlic. The oil from the sausage will start to cook the onion & garlic.

2. Once those start turning soft, add the water, chard, bullion and Italian seasoning. Turn heat to medium-low and cover. Let simmer for about 20 min.

3. Before serving, test for salt. Fresh cornbread goes well with this.

P.s. I shared this recipe with my mom, and she added white beans and mini pasta seashells. Both added a little more substance to the soup.
