With the chill starting to settle in for Fall, this soup warms the soul. You can omit the meat if you are not in the mood for it but since I am somewhat of a meat lover, I feel the soup is incomplete without it. The first time I had it, I had one slice of garlic bread left which was a wonderful pairing. However, I was craving eggs today so I fried one up and added it as a topping. This combination is heavenly. If you like soft runny eggs, this is THE dish to have it with if you are thinking of a good brunch meal. This is Like Huevos Rancheros but with a little twist.
I’m a bit of a salt fiend so you could find this dish a little too salty if you are using both Italian sausage AND canned tomatoes. I would suggest using fresh tomatoes instead or water instead of vegetable broth. Either should bring down the salt level just a tad.
