We got a cold snap here for the last few days, I made a potatoe soup last night that was so good but naughty...so everyone share your soup ideas and recipes.
I have been wanting to make O'Charley's potato soup for weeks and have been too lazy to buy the ingredients.
and oddly enough we are having Record High Temps here in OH!
but I did make tonight
Lasagna Soup!
Ingredients
1 lb bulk Italian sausage
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup carrot, diced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup provolone cheese or fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (for garnish)
4 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil (for garnish)
Directions
1 Brown sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots; saute 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and garlic, and saute another 3 minutes.
2 Add broth, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce, and bring to a boil. Drop in pasta and simmer until cooked, about 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
3 Place 1/4 cup cheese into serving bowls and pour soup on top. Garnish with Parmesan and basil.
- I of course adapted it to my tastes.
- I used Ground Pork AND Beef.
- I used 6 cans of chicken broth
- I used the LARGE can of DICED tomotoes.
- I used dried basil mixed in the soup.
- I used Natural Cheese Crumbles b/c I couldn't find provolone and this town didn't have Fresh Mozzeralla.
- I used PiccoliniŽ Mini Farfalle b/c I couldn't find the mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta in this town either.
- I used maybe a half tsp of minced garlic.
- No onion.
- I used One large can of mushroom pieces and stems.
- and I used Shredded Carrots - they cooked faster.
- And FROZEN chopped spinach. -
- I divided it up and took a bowl to my neighbors. When I was putting it in my bowls for the freezer - I thought it needed more juice to make it soupier so I added a LARGE can of CRUSHED tomatoes.
Wow, does that ever sound yummy! I could eat soup every day of the week, warm weather or not. I'm definitely going to make this recipe.Quote:

I added some sweetner as well, b/c I like a sweeter tomato taste.
