Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb Italian sausage links, removed from casing
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 yellow onions, coarsely chopped
• 24 oz jar chunky marinara sauce
• 2 cups vegetable or beef broth
• 2 green peppers, thickly sliced
• 2 to 3 zucchini, cubed
• 1 1/2 cup small black olives, drained
• 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste
• Garnish: shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Heat oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add beef and sausage; saute for 5-7 minutes, or until almost done. Add garlic and onions; stir. Add marinara sauce, broth, green peppers, zucchini, olives and Italian seasoning; stir again.

2. Season with salt and pepper. Heat through until bubbling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. The longer this soup cooks, the thicker and richer it becomes. Add more salt and pepper as needed. To serve, fill soup bowls and garnish with Parmesan.
