Some of you may know that The Man is not a big fan of soup. So, I try to make it as sparingly as I can. So, let's just say I was shocked and amazed when I made this soup and he went back for seconds. Guess that means it's a keeper. And the major upshot? It's super easy!
Ingredient List
Canola or Olive Oil
1 12oz package of Beef Smoked Sausage (sliced into circles) ((I doubled mine, cause The Man likes meat!))
1 Onion (diced)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Pinch of salt
2 cloves of Garlic (minced)
2 large Carrots (peeled and diced)
2 large Parsnips (peeled and diced) ((I do NOT peel my parsnips)
2 stalks Celery (diced)
6 baby Yellow Potatoes (cubed)
1/2 pound Butternut Squash (peeled and diced)
6 Cups Chicken Stock
1 Cup Kale (Chopped) ((I would have substituted Spinach, but I completely forgot lol)
1 Tablespoon Parsley (chopped) - this is an optional garnish
Heat a large soup pot of medium-high heat.
Drizzle in about 2 Tablespoons of oil.
Once hot, add in Sausage.
Cook in a single layer for 2-3 minutes, allowing sausage to brown and caramelize.
Stir and flip, allowing the second side to brown and caramelize for an additional 2 minutes.
Add in the onion.
Stir to combine.
Cook sausage and onion together for 3-4 minutes.
