This full bodied soup takes a break from the traditional Italian Wedding soup by replacing the usual meatballs with Johnsonville(tm) Swiss and Mushroom Grillers plus some Johnsonville(tm) Andouille Sausage. The result is a standalone dinner that just begs for a spoon and maybe some fresh bread and a glass of wine. Easy to make and slow cooked in a cast iron dutch oven it’s perfect for those days when you’re multitasking dinner and house cleaning.
