For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of smoked sausage varieties. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can substitute with frozen. For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of water and beef bouillon.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped sausage, onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened and the sausage is lightly browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
02
StepPour in the water, then add the chopped cabbage, sliced carrots, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef bouillon cubes, seasoned salt, dried thyme leaves, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer gently for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
03
StepStir in the chopped zucchini and rinsed kidney beans. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.
04
StepWhile the soup simmers its final 10 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and stir them into the soup.
05
StepLadle the hearty sausage soup into bowls and garnish generously with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
