Steps:

• Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and brown over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove sausage and when cooled, crumble the sausage.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium stock pot. Add the vegetables to the oil, stir frequently, and cook until lightly brown around the edges. Add remaining ingredients, except sausage, 1 at a time.

Slice into 1/4-inch slices.
