Spicy Minestrone With Sausage image

This is a recipe that I got from my mother. I think that she got it from a mag. or newspaper some time ago. This is a good winter warm up soup! It has a little spice, not too much though. Enjoy!! A few step savers: You can use frozen diced onion and green peppers. Use bouillon cubes and water for beef stock. Use crushed garlic in a jar.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The soup was a little too salty for my taste and the sausage was a bit dry. I probably won't be making this again.
