skye's stuffed pepper soup

• 1 lb italian sausage (sweet or hot, bulk or links that you can cut down into bite sized pieces)
• 1 large green pepper (i like to cut it into long slices... but you can dice it smaller if that is your preference)

3. season with sea salt and pepper and a pinch of red pepper flake and allow to saute for about 5 minutes.
4. now add your italian sausage to the pot.
5. while your sausage is cooking... it's time to get your rice done.
6. in a separate pot, cook your rice as per box instructions.
7. once sausage is cooked through...add in your can of soup and can of tomatoes.
8. i prefer the hunt's diced spicy red pepper tomatoes... but you can use any type of diced tomatoes.
