Spicy Sausage Soup

1 (14- 1/2-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, broken up
1 (13- 3/4-ounce) can beef broth
1/2 cup salsa
1 t. dried oregano leaves
1 lb. spicy or regular pork sausage
1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn
1 T. finely chopped cilantro

Combine tomatoes, beef broth, salsa and oregano in 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe container. Cover and microwave at High (100% power) for 6 minutes. Meanwhile, pinch off 1-inch pieces of pork sausage to make approximately 32 free-form patties; place in 11x7" microwave-safe baking dish. Remove tomato mixture from microwave; add corn, cover and reserve. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap, venting one corner. Microwave at High 9 to 11 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink in the center, stirring after 5 minutes to move rarer pieces to the outside. Let stand 2 minutes. Remove sausage with slotted spoon and place in tomato mixture. Continue cooking, covered, at High 4 or 5 minutes or until soup is hot. Stir in cilantro. Makes 4 servings.
