Italian Soup
Y’all this is GOOD!! This is one I am really proud of because it tasted like something I would find in a good Italian Restaurant!
Definitely a big pot of comfort food to keep y’all warm up North or even down here in the South!
It’s a one pot meal and could even be put in a crockpot!
If you can find fresh parmesan it’s so delish grated on top!
Hope you give it a try! From my Trim Healthy Mama friends, this is an S because of the turkey sausage.
The beans only add a small amount of carbs to the 6-8 servings! You might could keep it lean enough to be an FP but I’d just rather enjoy it with CHEESE!
If you would rather not have the beans just leave them out.

Soooooo good! I didn’t have beans or mushrooms, so eliminated. I did have a bag of cauliflower rice which I added…….. definitely a keeper!!!!!!
If I don’t have canned tomatoes do you think a can of Rotel would work? Thanks so much!
