Italian sausage infuses this simple soup with flavor, and you can choose hot or sweet sausage, depending on your taste for heat. It all comes together in under 30 minutes, and is even better after a day or two in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil
1⁄2 pound sausage, hot Italian (or sweet sausage)
1 onion (diced)
2 potato (cubed to make 3 cups)
1 carrot (chopped)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
14 1⁄2 ounces broth, chicken (1 can)

Instructions

Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and crumble the sausage into the pan. Stir as the sausage starts to sizzle, then add the onion.
