Ingredients For sausage and vegetable stew/soup

  • 2 tube
    breakfast sausage (any flavor)
  • 1 md
    onion cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1/2 c
    celery, 1 inch slices
  • 1 c
    carrots (baby or thickly sliced)
  • 1 lg
    bell pepper (1 inch dice)
  • 2 c
    summer squash (green or yellow) thickly sliced or diced
  • 2 c
    chicken broth
  • 1 can
    diced tomato (any flavor)

How To Make sausage and vegetable stew/soup

  • 1
    Brown saugage in a deep stew pot or dutch oven until no longer pink. As it cooks, break meat into large 2-inch chunks (bite-sized), do not drain.
  • 2
    Once the meat is cooked, add onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper (do not add squash yet) and cook until carrots and celery are mostly tender.
  • 3
    Once the veggies are mostly tender, add the squash,chicken broth, and the entire can (juice and all) of tomatoes. Cover and simmer until all veggies are tender.
  • 4
    Notes: You can add other spices (thyme, garlic, cayenne, basil, etc.) if you like, but I never have. The seasoning in the sausage and the salt in the tomatoes and broth seem to be plenty for the dish. That said, if you use low-sodium broth or plain, low sodium tomatoes, extra seasonings might be needed. I usually use Hot Jimmy Dean sausage and Hunts, Spicy Red Pepper tomatoes. The result is delicious and can be eaten as a soup or a stew over rice or noodles. ENJOY!
