It's Italian Sausage Soup


This is one of my husband's favorite soups. It's wonderful with hot bread on a cold night! -Sarah

1 medium carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes

1/2 t. crushed rosemary
1/2 t. basil

Isn't this recipe missing 1/4 teaspoon crushed fennel? Just checking-perhaps you left it out because you do not like the flavor. Just a helpful hint on all the herbs. I grind them up in my blender so they are nicely crushed. Easy to do. Love this soup!!!
