This is a great recipe, especially if you have fantastic tomatoes and plenty of fresh basil. If you are lacking in the produce department, add some mushrooms for more flavor. Here's what I did: I sauteed 8 oz of quartered crimini mushrooms with the garlic until they released their juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Then, I added a 1/4 cup of dry white wine and cooked over medium-high heat until all the liquid had been absorbed. I followed the recipe from there, adding the tomatoes and pasta. It turned out great and the mushrooms really made up for my less than perfect tomatoes.

Following the recommendations of others, I added wine, celery, garlic and more rice to this recipe. This is definitely a recipe with a sweet and spicy taste--if that's a flavor combination you enjoy, you'll probably like this soup. Most of the flavor comes from the sausage, so make sure you take that into consideration. I definitely enjoyed making this unique recipe and I'm sure I'll make it again in the future.
