About
Country Sausage Soup might have backcountry origins, but it's ready for a trip to the big city! It can certainly stand up to fancy, modern soups with its savory, deep flavor! Succulent sausage gives this soup a savory, delicious foundation, and then fragrant thyme, chicken broth, and rich, bright tomatoes build upon the flavor. With some creamy beans to amp up the satisfaction, Country Sausage Soup is a welcoming soup indeed!
