Hearty Vegetable Sausage Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

• 1 package of vegan/gf sausage or brats
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 large carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, chopped
• 1- 28 ounce can of chopped tomatoes or tomato sauce
• 32 ounces of vegetable stock or broth
• 2 tablespoons of Italian seasonings
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Add your oil of choice to a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium flame.  Once hot, add your vegan sausage.
2. Cook until browned on the exterior for about 6-8 minutes.  Remove once browned and slice into bite-sized pieces, set aside.
3. Into your hot pan add your garlic, carrots, celery and bell peppers.  Cook until the veggies release their liquid and soften a bit – this may take about 8 minutes or so.
4. Once tender, add your tomatoes, stock and seasonings.  Cover and allow to cook for 30 minutes.
5. Taste to adjust salt and pepper.  Serve over a small pasta or rice, with some crusty bread or crackers.
