PASTA-SAUSAGE SOUP

1-1/2 lbs. hot or sweet Italian sausage 1 med. onion, chopped 1 med. green pepper, cut into strips 1 garlic clove, minced 1 can (28 oz.) tomatoes, chopped,    liquid reserved 2 to 2-1/2 c. uncooked bow tie pasta 6 c. water 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce 2 chicken bouillon cubes 1 tsp. dried basil 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. salt   Remove casings from the sausages and cut into 1-inch pieces.  In a Dutch oven, brown sausage over medium heat. 
Remove sausage and drain all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.  Saute onion, pepper, and garlic until tender.  Add sausage and all remaining ingredients.  Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 15-20 minutes.  Yields:  3 quarts.  This is a good soup for our area since we have many good sausage makers.  The soup has a rich flavor and is even tastier the next day.  If you are unable to find bow tie pasta, you can substitute another macaroni product.
