  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic, 2 cloves
  • 5 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes, fresh or canned without draining
  • 8 ounces no salt added tomato sauce
  • 1 cup zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks, about 10 minutes.

  3. Add onion to the pan and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic to onion and continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute.
