Time 1h10m

Yield s: 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons EVOO, plus more for drizzling
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 fresh bay leaves
2 stems fresh rosemary
1 carrot, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned.
