alicia's everything soup
(1 rating)
This started as an Italian style fagoli, and has turned into a "raid the pantry" kind of soup. It is a favorite when I make a meal for a lot of people or to take to a potluck. Never tried it in the crock pot, but I don't think mine is big enough!

How To Make alicia's everything soup
-
1Trim the fat off the pork chops and cut into bite size or smaller pieces. For the sausage, I don't completely thaw so they are easier to cut to size.
-
2In a very large pot (not on heat yet) stir together jars of spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, vegetable stock (or water), canned tomatoes, thawed spinach, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, basil, thyme, cumin, parsley, cayenne and salt & pepper. Turn on to a medium-low heat and stir in the pork chops and sausage. Bring to a simmer and turn down heat. Cook about 2 hours stirring occasionally, making sure it stays at a simmer.
-
3Add onions, peppers, celery, carrots, mushrooms and corn. If you are using fresh potatoes add them now as well. Turn up heat slightly and keep simmering about another hour to 1 1/2 hours until vegetables are very tender.
-
4Cook pasta according to package directions until it is slightly under-cooked. Add kidney beans, green beans, canned potatoes and pasta. If soup is looking too thick add hot water 1/2 cup at a time until it is more of a soup consistency. Simmer about another 30 minutes.
-
5When serving, top with shredded Parmesan and Romano cheese and diced green onions on top.
