Italian Sausage Soup

This dish is a perfect meal for these cooler months that are approaching. It made a lot so there were plenty of leftovers. My friend Tracey got this recipe from her friend Kelly. Thanks for passing it along to me! It was a big hit in our house. The recipe calls for mild Italian sausage, which I used. I think next time I make it, I'll try hot sausage. We like the kick the "hot" give us. :)

Ingredients
1 lb of mild (or hot) Italian sausage
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium green pepper chopped
28 oz can of crushed tomato
2- 8 oz cans of tomato sauce
2- 8 oz cans of water
3 chicken bullion cubes
3/4 tsp of garlic salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1 TBSP parsley
3/4 cup of macaroni noodles
shredded mozzarella cheese


Directions:
1. Brown sausage, pepper and onion. Drain.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the noodles. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Add macaroni. Cover and simmer 10 more minutes.
4. Serve and top with cheese. YUM!!!!
