Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove casings from sausage and cook in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess fat if desired.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the sausage, sautéing until the onion is translucent and soft.
  3. Stir in stewed tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, water, dissolved bullion cube, bay leaf, Great Northern beans, sliced celery, and carrot matchsticks.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Add the dried parsley and season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  6. Stir in the pasta and add more water if needed to maintain a soup-like consistency.
  7. Simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and the carrots are tender.
  8. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
