    Cook's Notes: I used sausage,(as that is what I happened to have) which meant a lot of unwanted fat, so I chilled soup overnight to allow fat to rise, then discarded the fat, which made this soup almost fat free. Sour cream also makes a good topping, and helps to cut the heat. There are just the two of us, so there was some left over and it was even better the next day.
