Italian Sausage, Bean and Macaroni Soup image

A family favorite for many years. This soup is even better if made a day ahead to blend flavors, just rewarm on top of the stove, and serve with crusty buns. You can add in precooked pasta, any kind you desire to the soup, in place of small uncooked pasta. You can use turkey sausage in place of the Italian sausage.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrients.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover Italian sausage. I always have some leftover after I make pasta, so this is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this soup is so good that I didn't even notice they were there! The Italian sausage and macaroni are the perfect combination.

This soup is easy to make and it's so delicious! I used ground beef instead of Italian sausage and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.
