Minestrone Soup

I came home tonight and really wanted tomato soup, but there wasn't any in the cupboard, so I had to improvise.  The result was surprisingly good (and quick!).  For a vegan version, leave out the sausage and cheese.  Makes 2 to 3 servings.

In a medium sized saucepan, brown 1 Italian turkey sausage, removed from its casing, for about 5 minutes, breaking it into bits.

Add:
1 can diced tomatoes, with the juice
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can broth (vegetable or chicken)
1 cup frozen corn
1 oz. whole wheat spaghetti, broken into fourths
1 T. dried basil

Bring to a boil.  Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes.

Serve.  Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
