Rustic Italian Sausage Soup Zuppa Arcidossana Recipes

Steps:

• Put oil in a large pot or deep skillet and brown sausage over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When sausage is cooked through and leaving brown bits in pan, add carrots, onion and garlic, and continue to cook until vegetables begin to soften and brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add bread to pan and stir for a minute or 2; add spinach and continue cooking just until it wilts, a couple of minutes.
• Add about 2 cups water and stir to loosen any remaining brown bits from pan. This is more of a stew than a soup, but there should be some broth, so add another cup of water if necessary. When broth is consistency of thin gravy, ladle stew into serving bowls and top with cheese and some freshly chopped parsley if you have it. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Shape sausage into 1-inch meatballs and place into the soup pot. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until 170 ℉ in the middle of largest meatball.
• 2. Prepare garlic, onion, and shallot, and 32 oz. of seasoned chicken broth. I prefer the decreased sodium paste over the dry cubed variety.
• 3. When the sausage balls are cooked through empty all except 1/8 inch of the pork fat and then add the broth, onions, garlic, and shallots.
• 4. Prepare rosemary, cayenne pepper, black pepper, oregano, celery seed, and basil. To release the flavors grind with a mortar and pestle, or rub briskly between the palms over the soup pot as they are added to the soup pot before the broth heats up to prevent burning yourself.
• 5. Place lid on the pot. Turn the heat up to medium.
• 6. Wash the red potatoes and remove any eyes. Peel the potatoes and quarter them lengthwise. Once quartered, cut into one-inch wideths. Add the cubed potatoes to the pot.
• 7. Cover and heat approximately 60 to 90 minutes, or until the potatoes are can be pierced with a fork and the soup is aromatic of the spices.
• 9. Remove soup from hot burner, and add the Kale to the soup and stir. It will soften and go limp quickly. Ladle out immediately and serve.
• 8. Add the Half & Half to the soup and heat for 10-minutes or so as you gently wash, thoroughly rinse, and shake dry the baby Kale.
• 9. Remove the soup pot from the hot burner. Add the Kale to the soup and stir approximately one minute or until the kale goes limp.
• 10. Ladle out immediately and serve.

Steps:
