Soup Time

I am sharing a recipe that I have promised for quite awhile. I love making soups, and it is about to be soup time. This one was made in the heat of August for the first time. I have made it several more times since.

I found it on this website...http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/29/sausage-potato-spinach-soup/

I was looking for spinach soups, but more tomato based. However this one caught my eye, so I gave it a whirl. I am writing the directions and ingredients for it below, because I changed it up with the sausage. If you want to see lots of pictures and directions pop over to the link.

Sausage, Potato, and Spinach Soup

1 tbsp olive oil

1 pound Jimmy Dean hot sausage (the above recipe called for Italian soup)

1 tbsp McCormick's California Style garlic salt (if you have never used this is a must have for your kitchen)

1 onion diced

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 crushed red pepper flakes

salt and pepper to taste

5 cups chicken broth

1 pound potatoes diced

3 cups of baby spinach

1/4 cup heavy cream

Brown sausage in olive oil. Crumble sausage as it cooks.

Stir in spices and onions and cook until onions are transparent.

Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Add potatoes and cook until tender.

Stir in spinach until it wilts.

Stir in heavy cream until it is heated through.

It is very tasty and quite easy to do, so it is very easily a night meal. It would be hearty with a salad and bread.

I worked in my garage today. It was the first day I have ventured outside to work. The true awful heat is gone I think?!

I changed out my table to more of an October table.

I added a little more Halloween stuff which is little since I don't have kids or grandkids. I have a couple of Jack-o-lantern votives in the living room. That is the extent of my Halloween stuff.

I have been stitching, but nothing big to show right now. I am rotating each day with something new until something screams at me, "Finish Now!"
