Italian Sausage Zucchini Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sweet Italian sausage
2 cups celery, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans whole canned tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Italian spices
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 lbs zucchini, sliced
2 green peppers, diced
2 cups water or 1 cup red wine and 1 c water

Preparation

Slice sausage and brown in the pot. Add celery and cook for 10 minutes. Add onions, tomatoes, garlic, spices and dried herbs and sugar. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add zucchini and green pepper. Add water and wine (if using). Cover and simmer until zucchini is falling apart and pepper is soft. More water may need to be added as the soup can get very thick. The more this cooks, the better it tastes!
