I used hot Italian sausages and sliced them it into 1/2 inch slices (blobs with 1/2 inch casings, really). After browning, I added a couple of carrots, a stalk of celery, a medium onion, and 2 cloves of garlic; chopped medium (the garlic was minced). After sauteing for 5 minutes, added 2 Tbsp flour and cooked a couple more minutes. Followed the recipe for the rest, except couldn't find acini di pepe, so substituted pastina (which are dopey little stars in my fine soup, definitely have to get the right pasta for guests). Result is definitely soupy, not stewy. I love this soup, and with two bowls in my tummy right now, I know it loves me, too.
