I am posting another yummy soup recipe I got from Arin - thanks! I made this last night and everyone loved it. The kids are still terrible soup eaters - messy, drippy, complainers, but I am not giving up yet - still working on it! The recipe has turkey sausage/kielbasa in it, which my kids thought looked like hot dogs, hence the name I gave this one "Hot Dog Soup" - whatever works to make them eat it, right?
Ingredients:
1/2 large onion or 1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T olive oil
1 package turkey keilbasa or sausage, cut into bite sized rounds or pieces
32 oz chicken broth
2 cans of White Northern Beans, drained
1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
salt, to taste
Directions:
Warm olive oil in medium dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft. Add garlic, stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Add in turkey sausage and saute until browned. Slowly add in stock, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 mins.
If you like a thicker soup, about 5 minutes into the simmer, scoop out about a 1/3-1/2 cup of beans and mash them up in a bowl. Mash them into a soupy paste and return to the pot. The natural starches in the beans will thicken up the rest of the soup. If you do this, you might want to add another can of drained beans since it takes away some of the beans.
Tips - Here are a few other ideas I didn't try, but thought would be good for next time to increase the veggies:
-Add an extra can of beans (mentioned above)
-Add an extra can of tomatoes
-Add finely chopped spinach
