Sicilian Sausage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and onion. Saute until the sausage is browned and onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Keep breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Add carrots and celery, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add sugar and stir well. Continue cooking until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add pasta, salt, and pepper. Cook covered about 30 minutes. Serve warm in bowls with grated cheese on top.
• (**ONLY use Del Monte diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano or it will not taste the way I think it should.).

Steps:

• In a stockpot or Dutch oven, brown sausage with garlic. Stir in broth, tomatoes and carrots, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Stir in beans with liquid and zucchini. Cover, and simmer another 15 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
• Remove from heat, and add spinach. Replace lid allowing the heat from the soup to cook the spinach leaves. Soup is ready to serve after 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot (16 quart minimum / 20 quart recommended) heat olive oil under fairly low to medium heat.
• "Sweat" onion, celery, green pepper and some salt (to draw off moisture) for perhaps 30 minutes -- this is lower than browning, and makes the veggies somewhat translucent. I covered, and mixed every few minutes to prevent browning.
• Add carrots, garlic, some white pepper and some black pepper, and continue to heat under "sweat" conditions while mixing now and then.
• Add chicken stock, chicken breasts, tomatoes and potatoes -- and of course some more white pepper and black pepper.
• Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours (or use crock pot?).
• Remove chicken and let cool and stand to shred.
• Add chopped parsley and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
• Salt to taste at this point, and add more white and black pepper if your tongue is not twitching a bit when you sample. ;-).
• Simmer while cooking ditalini (or other stubby pasta).
• Serve soup over cooked pasta to taste.
• Note: Like many soups, this may be better made the day before and then served when needed. We will freeze some for ready-made meals and I think it will work out well.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch kettle, add olive oil, Italian sausage, and diced onion. Saute on medium heat breaking up and browning the sausage,and cooking the onion until transparent. Add canned tomatoes, chicken broth, rice and cheese. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice softens.During the last 5 minutes, add chopped spinach. Serve. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. :-)

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook sausage over medium heat until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Drain fat from pan, reserving 3 tablespoons.

• Cover, and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain water, and add pasta to the slow cooker. Simmer for a few minutes, and season with salt and pepper before serving.
