A friend of a friend hooked me up with this recipe. This was his write up on how to make it.
My wife and I both had it last night for dinner and today for lunch. It is a great soup.
We changed it around a bit and used medium instead of the hot bratwursts. Even with that change it's still a spicy soup. If you don't care for spicy, put less crushed red pepper in it and you will be good to go. I'm not a fan of really spicy stuff and it was still good being warm.
So, since it is cold and awful out... I am sharing my recipe for "Awesome Soup" -- because it is awesome.
You will need the following: (see picture for clarification...)
10 Cups Chicken Broth
I package of Johnsonville Hot, Italian Sausage (or 1 lb of your choice of hot, Italian sausage)
1 medium onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 container of cut mushrooms
1.5 cups, orecchiette Pasta (uncooked)
6 Petite red potatoes
4 Cups of Curly Kale
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Parsley
You're basically going to throw all of this in a pot... and cook it.
SO... get this thing going by chopping up your onion and cutting the potatoes into small pieces... And removing the stems from the Kale.
THEN... remove the sausage from its casings and drop it in a large pot, along with half of the onions.
Be sure to remove the casings of the sausage!!!!!!
Use large wooden spoon to break up the sausage into small bits...
Let it cook for about 5 minutes. Then, add the potatoes, garlic, red pepper and parsley. Stir it up and cook for another few minutes.
Mmm... Taters..
Add mushrooms and orecchiette (and the remaining half of the chopped onion)
Add the Kale (torn into smaller sizes)
Stop whining, it's good for you!!!
Pour in the 10 cups of broth, using your large, wooden spoon to move it all around and get the Kale mixed up with the rest of the ingredients.
Can you smell the awesome?!
Add salt and pepper with 2 tsp of Thyme...
Bring to an awesome boil for at 5 minutes the put on "simmer" and let it sit for 20 minutes...
As an extra bonus, I will sometimes through in a sliced Jalapeno... it's excellent. Also... allowing this to sit in the fridge overnight and then re-heating it the next day... is even better!
Enjoy the awesomeness that is Awesome Soup!
