Italian Turkey Sausage Minestrone Soup

The temperature in Texas has been flip flopping between 70’s and 50’s so i guess I’ve been craving soup since its been more cold. My dad makes this soup at least once a year and so i recreated it to be more macro friendly with turkey sausage and minus the little elbow pasta/ You can also add whatever veggies your heart wants to this
