Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb sausage, pork (I use "hot" Italian or another spicy sausage)
1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups water

This soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I like to add a bit of extra flavor with some fresh herbs, and I also like to serve it with a side of cornbread or tort

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. It's also a very affordable and easy meal to make. I like to add a bit of spice with some chili powder or cayenne pepper, and I also like to top it with sour cream and avocado. Yum!

I thought this soup was just okay. It was a bit bland for my taste, and I found the texture to be a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred it with less rice or more broth.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and watery, and the rice was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this soup again.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices and maybe some fresh herbs. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred it with less rice or more broth.
