SPICY ITALIAN SAUSAGE & VEGGIE SOUP

 One thing that I love is a good soup. 

There is nothing better than the satisfaction of whipping up a quick soup and enjoying it with a slab of crunchy bread and butter. Maybe thats just me and maybe now that its the new year we will skip the butter, but I can not say I will do this for sure I do love bread and butter.
