I used Aidell's Italian Style Chicken Sausage, since they were in the fridge. Next time I'll use some with a little more spice. I increased the celery and carrots from 1 to 2, since I always think more is better when it comes to vegetables. If you don't have fresh garlic, use garlic powder instead. I also like to keep a jar of chopped garlic in the fridge for those days I'm feeling especially lazy.
