Notes

This soup cooks fairly quickly and only needs 2 hours on higher 4 hours on low to combine. That being said, the onion plays a major role in that it needs time to soften properly. If cooking for a shorter time, make sure cuts of onion are small to make sure its ready when you are ready to eat.
Italian sausage and breakfast sausage contain herbs and spices that may not complement the other flavors in the soup. Make sure to get PORK sausage.
