- Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cover and allow this to simmer about 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the casings from the sausages, and slice the sausages into thin round slices.
- Add them to the pot.
- Add the remaining broth, water, oregano, boullion cubes, and pepper.
- Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Add the pasta and simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Ladle into soup bowls and enjoy!
