minutesAfter a long day at work, cooking was the last thing I felt like doing. But this recipe was my lifesaver. I only had to dirty my cutting board and one pot, and I had a substantial soup that actually left me feeling full!

2 cloves garlic
1 lb Italian chicken sausage
dried oregano (about 1/2 tablespoon or so)

Shredded Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp AOOC Traditional 18-Year Barrel Aged Balsamic OR AOOC Espresso Balsamic
