Recipe from Picky Palate

This soup was delicious and super easy!  It took me about 15 minutes to cook it from start to finish.  I also added in some garlic, onion and orzo.

Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
1 lb Italian Sausage
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloved garlic, minced
10 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade (stacked, rolled, thinly sliced)
1 26 ou jar of pasta sauce
1 c water
1 1/2 c half and half
Pinch salt and pepper

Directions:
In a heavy pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion for about 3 minutes, until it begins to soften.  Then add the sausage and garlic.  Cook until sausage is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Stir in remaining ingredients.  Cook until heated through.  Serve with thick slices of crusty bread!
