Sausage and Pasta Soup Recipe

This Sausage and Pasta Soup recipe is easy to make. 

My kiddos love the tiny pasta shapes.

Add al fresco chicken sausage to boost the flavor and make it a little healthier than with pork or beef sausage.

I typically double this soup recipe so we have leftovers for lunch or snacking.
