Sneaking in a Soup
When I got home from subbing on Monday, it was cloudy and cool and I didn't know what to make for dinner. I honed in on some Italian turkey sausage in our freezer and started searching. Ultimately I decided to take advantage of the cool temps and make a pot of soup.
This soup really isn't anything new and exciting - basically another reincarnation of many other soups out there - but it served as a springboard to get me inspired to cook something for dinner and that's definitely a good thing! I had to tweak to suit the ingredients I had on hand, but my version stayed pretty true to the overall theme of the original recipe. This turned out to be another soup that came through with great flavor for little effort (it took all of about 15 minutes to assemble). As an afterthought, I threw in some leftover green beans I bought for dinner the other night from the Wegmans prepared foods deli. They added a splash of color and a little nutrition and surprisingly enough, my youngest proclaimed that they were really good in this soup!

I love Pasta e Fagioli. Its actually one of those foods I hated that my mom made me eat. As I got older...yum! Now, I think I will ask her to make some when she visits this weekend, since I can't do it like her. Hmmm. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteChris - It's funny how tastes change as you grow up. Fortunately my kids like it quite well - but put in a bit if sausage and my kids will probably eat it. ;)
