Tuscan Soup/ Cabbage Soup

So our friend from high school band, is following our blog, and we are following her blog. :-D
She recently posted some excellent and yummy soup recipes. We have gained permission to post them here. Enjoy!

Tuscan Soup
2 lbs. sausage chunks
Diced potatoes and carrots
Beef broth
Minced celery and onion
Can of cream corn
Garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley to taste

TIP-When our friend, Michelle made this recently she sauteed the ingredients in some left over from breakfast bacon grease (more flavor)

Another TIP from Michelle: You can mix a slurry to thicken the soup or use her secret ingredient: flaked instant potatoes. They work perfect for any chowder type soups. This gives a creamy texture.

Cabbage Soup

1 head of cabbage diced
2 boxes of beef broth
2-3 cans of tomato soup
2 lbs. ground sausage (She recommends 1 lb spicy, 1 lb. mild)-browned and drained
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chili peppers
chopped celery and onion to taste

Put in crock pot and cook all day long until cabbage is tender. Season with garlic and parsley.



Thanks Michelle, for letting us post these great soup recipes!
