Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for sweet Italian sausage, fresh zucchini, and ripe tomatoes.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much zucchini or sausage to the pot, it will take longer to cook and the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
