I like it. Dark themes are not my first choice, but I like the crisp, clean lines.  :thumbup:

Italian Sausage and Squash Soup
« on: August 25, 2015, 10:30:49 AM »
This soup is really good comfort food. It is rich and creamy!  :eat:

Servings: About 8 cups
Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:
1  lb. bulk Italian sausage
1 1/2 cups onion,diced
2 Tbsp. garlic,minced
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1" chunks (about 1 1/2 lb.)
1/4  tsp. red pepper flakes, optional or use best judgment to taste.
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. ground dried sage
1 tsp. sugar
2 cups baby spinach, packed
3 Tbsp. brandy
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Brown sausage in 1 Tbsp. oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.

Sweat onion and garlic in 1 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add squash and pepper flakes, and saute 5 minutes.

Stir in broth and water, bring to a boil, and simmer until squash is very soft, about 10 minutes. Puree soup with a hand blender (or in batches in a standard blender), then add bell pepper, cream, sage, and sugar; simmer until bell pepper is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, brandy, and sausage, and simmer until spinach wilts and sausage is heated through, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
If soup is too thin you can cook it longer to make it thicker.

If it is too thick add a little water, broth, or cream.

Try different types of sausages.

Enjoy!

It's VERY good! In fact I think I'll make it again very soon! Haven't made it since last winter, I think. not sure why I haven't posted it sooner...probably too busy.
