    <directions>Remove sausage from casing and place in large pan; add onion, green pepper, and spices.  Cook over medium heat until thoroughly cooked; breaking sausage up with a spoon into small bite-sized chunks.  Add chicken broth and stewed tomatoes (breaking up tomatoes into small chunks).  Add cut green beans, sliced carrots, and potatoes; bring to boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Spoon soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, if desired.</directions>
