Have you tried turkey Italian Sausage? It’s pretty darn tasty and could be substituted in this soup. Serve this with a glass of 2007 Busi Chianti Rufina.

Yield:	Serves 4-6

What's Needed:

1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed

1 14 1/2 ounce can chicken broth
1 15 ounce can Italian-style diced tomatoes
