I made up a batch of Italian sausage soup today, and thought it was worth sharing the recipe since it is truly one of the most scrumptious things I make.

The soup is adapted from a recipe I originally got off the alt.support.diet.low-carb Usenet group many years ago. Basically, it is cooking several pounds of vegetables in such a manner that it all is flavored yummily with Italian sausage. It's been one of my absolute favorites for years.
