If there is one thing that I love about the cold weather of autumn and winter apart from baking, it is surely to make some delicious warm and hearty soups. This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks thus far, Better Homes and Gardens - Comfort Food Family Dinners. What I just love about this soup beyond its simplicity to make is that, apart from the warmth provided by all soups, it also has some heat brought by the addition of cayenne pepper, which is perfect for chilly nights. It is the first soup I make that has potatoes in it, and I really loved the texture and taste that they provided. Excellent soup for all to try.
Ingredients:
3-4 Italian sausages
1 red pepper, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 cups chicken broth
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cups potatoes, diced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. In a large pan, cook the sausages, peppers, onion and garlic in a bit of oil on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until sausages have almost completely cooked. Remove surplus oil.
2. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, potatoes and basil. Bring to a boil.
3. Decrease the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
4. Add the cayenne pepper and enjoy!
