Italian Sausage Wedding Soup
On a cold day, there are fewer things more enjoyable than a piping hot bowl of soup. This Italian Sausage Wedding soup is sure to warm you and your family up.
To use up leftover ingredients I often make soup or curry. The soup I am sharing today I typically make to use up random pasta and kale. I use kale to make a copycat Zuppa Toscana soup and I always have plenty of kale leftover.
