One of our favorite meals is TR’s Italian Sausage (Soysage!) Soup. It is a sure-fire hit for a cold, winter lunch or dinner. A rarity for us, in that it uses a soy-meat protein (which we consume in moderation). This soup recipe is easy and delicious. It takes less than an hour from start to finish. 
Ingredients:
1 Onion
2 Tablespoons Chopped Garlic
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Oregano
Ground Cayenne pepper (optional)
2 Quarts Water or vegetable stock or add bouillon to the water
3 Cups home cooked tomatoes or 1 28oz. can Diced Tomatoes*
1 Cup Orzo pasta
1 Box Vegetarian Breakfast Soysage (8 to 10 links) We use Morningstar Farms or Boca brands most of the time
Note: We avoid canned goods in our home, so we rough chop and cook fresh tomatoes on the stove.
Directions:
Saute onions in oil with salt, pepper and oregano, on a medium heat. When onions are soft and translucent, add garlic. (If you add garlic at the beginning, you might scorch it!) Add diced tomatoes and stock, let simmer while you slice the soysage. Cut links into coins, (or cut them at a small diagonal, to create oval shaped slices, like a Pro). Add soysages and Orzo and water. Turn down the heat. Let simmer for 15 minutes, or so, until the orzo is cooked. Add more salt, pepper, cayenne or oregano, if desired. Add more water if you like a thinner soup. (You’ll also need to add a small amount of water when you reheat it.)
Tip: Let the soysage par-thaw to make it easier to slice!
Your soup will stay fresh in the fridge for about 5 days. It makes a great take-to-work/school lunch. We hope you enjoy it as much as our family.
