REC: Made a big pot of kale soup last night
Made a big pot of soup last night. It would've been better without the
sausage because the sausages had been in the freezer too long (the soup is still good tho') I ate 2 big bowlfuls last night and I'm having it again for lunch today: 6 ounces of Little Sizzler Hot breakfast sausage links, cut into thirds 1 onion, coarse chopped 2 carrots, thick sliced 2 garlic cloves, thin sliced 1 dried chipotle pepper (optional) 2 bay leaves 1 (32 oz) carton of chicken broth 1 (15 oz) can diced no-salt tomatoes 2 potatoes, peeled and small diced 1 (15 oz) can navy or cannellini beans (white beans), with juice 2 big handfuls of chopped kale (about 6 ounces maybe) Fry the sausage in a stockpot, add the onions and carrots and saute until the onions are wilted, then add the garlic and saute a little more but don't let it burn. Add the dried pepper, bay leaves, broth, and tomatoes and simmer for half an hour. Remove the pepper if you added one, mince it, and add it back to the pot. Add the potatoes and cook until they are almost tender. Add the canned beans and the kale, and cook about 10 or 15 more minutes until the kale is done. Add S&P to taste (it didn't need any salt because the broth was salty) -- Bob |

To me a big pot of soup is minimally 8 quarts but if I'm going to take the time to cook soup from scratch I like to have a good amount to freeze so I typically use a 16 quart pot. For what you did I'd be likely to add a couple 20 ounce cans of Progresso bean soup ($1 on sale) to my fried sausage and add the kale. >It would've been better without the >sausage because the sausages had been in the freezer too long (the soup >is still good tho') I ate 2 big bowlfuls last night and I'm having it >again for lunch today: What's your "big" bowlful? My big soup bowl is 28 ounces, and when hungry I fill it halfway again. Unless you're a very small eater you barely have enough for lunch again today. To be honest I would not have risked adding all those good ingredients to that tiny bit of iffy sausage... I'd have tossed those out in my yard for the crows and bought some fresh sausage. I'd most likely have ground about 4 pounds of pork shoulder and made meatballs for my 16 quart pot of soup... used a couple pounds of dried beans too. >6 ounces of Little Sizzler Hot breakfast sausage links, cut into thirds >1 onion, coarse chopped >2 carrots, thick sliced >2 garlic cloves, thin sliced >1 dried chipotle pepper (optional) >2 bay leaves >1 (32 oz) carton of chicken broth >1 (15 oz) can diced no-salt tomatoes >2 potatoes, peeled and small diced >1 (15 oz) can navy or cannellini beans (white beans), with juice >2 big handfuls of chopped kale (about 6 ounces maybe) > >Fry the sausage in a stockpot, add the onions and carrots and saute >until the onions are wilted, then add the garlic and saute a little more >but don't let it burn.

Soup bowl says it's 24 ounce, but that's probably when filled to overflowing. I fill it about 2/3, so call it a pint. Had about 20 ounces for lunch today. I still work for a living, so I don't have time to get out the 8 or 10 quart pot and fill it up during the week. I do that sometimes on the weekend. I think 3 quarts is a lot when trying out a new recipe -- for one. :-) I didn't realize the sausage was stale until I cooked it. At least it's out of the freezer now. I think there's another package in there; it's going to the dogs. Little Sizzler Hots (they have a Tabasco trademark on the label) are really good in jambalaya and other spicy dishes that need some sausage. I just need to rotate through my freezer stock a little better instead of letting things drift to the back and get forgotten. Bob |
