Instructions
Slice the low-fat chicken sausage into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook it until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.

Return the sausage back to the pot, then add the zucchini and potatoes.
Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes with their juices.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
