A great soup for dinner, can be made as spicy as you like, and freezes wonderfully. Add freshly grated Parmesean to the top, and serve with a hot crusty piece of ciabatta bread. YUM!
Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I’ve made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!
Even kids who don’t care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they’re available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!
