| Notes: |
2023-05-13: One can of garbanzo beans replaced one can of kidney beans, and the tomatoes were stewed, not diced. A dash of red pepper flakes was added.
2023-01-14: An excellent batch, adding 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the sausage and veggies, and 1 tablespoon BTB chicken.
2022-11-27: We used small shells with no ditalini.
