Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage
  • 2 jars Trader Joe's Garden Vegetable Soup plus 1 jar of water
  • 1 cup orzo or other tiny pasta

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Slice the sausage and cut each slice in half to form half-circles.
  • Add the sausage to the pot and sauté until browned. Pour both jars of soup into the pot. Fill an empty jar with water and add that to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil and add the orzo. Reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender, about 15 minutes.
