Italian Sausage Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. bulk Italian sausage (more if you like)
1 green pepper
1 large onion
2 (16 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
2 cans tomato sauce
2 cans water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 bay leaf

Preparation

Brown sausage, pepper and onion in soup pot (drain off grease).
Add and simmer the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, cubes and bay leaf.
After the soup has simmered 15 minutes, add 1/2 cup shell macaroni or more if you like the soup thick.
I usually add a little tomato juice as I like more liquid in my soup.
This is good topped with shredded Cheddar cheese.
