Made another batch of soup this afternoon, this is the third batch I've made in about a month..........must be getting closer to Ski Season!!!! I like soups all the time, but especially in the fall & winter. And spring.
This is another one from The New England Soup Factory Cookbook---- I have a lot of cookbooks for soups, but other than a Clam Chowder recipe from the Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook, this is pretty much my go-to.
I started out with about a pound each of sweet Italian & hot Italian sausage. I pressed it into my 12" lodge CI skillet & onto the grill with a leftover chunk of wood (I think it was apple) wedged on the flavorizer bars:
you can see left side & right side are different
flip it like a big pancake:
let it cook some more then chop it up:
Roxy making sure nothing got away - I threw a couple chunks of cooked sausage in the yard to amuse her:
break it up a little more, cook 4 min, stir, cook 4 min & done:
in with some celery, carrots, summer squash, zucchini, onion, .........orzo, dark red kidney beans, cannelli beans, chickpeas, tomatoes & tomato paste (totally skipped the stock, just went with salt---been doing that with the sausage chili & this soup). The orzo, squash & zucchini went in at the last 15 minutes:
Here's a bowl along with some sourdough baguette - I made extra..... it's at least 2 gallons. That's an earl gray iced tea.... I'm working on cutting the booze out for a little while, trying to get in better shape for the winter.
