Crock-Pot Vegetarian Sausage Orzo Soup
(Adapted from Taste of Home by The Economical Eater)
Ingredients
- 2 vegetarian sausage links, chopped (I used Tofurky Italian Sausages)
- 1 cup sliced white button mushrooms
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup uncooked orzo
Directions
- Place all ingredients, except for orzo, in a crock-pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours, adding more water or vegetable broth to reach desired consistency.
- About ten minutes before serving, cook orzo in boiling salted water according to directions on the package. Add orzo to soup, stir, and taste for seasoning (adjust as necessary).
- This soup is great on it's own as a main meal, served alongside salad and bread perhaps, or as a hearty first course.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Today I'll be using my Crock-pot again, making a "Hamburger" Cabbage Casserole. I've never tried this before, wish me luck!
Have a great day,
