THE TWO MOST AMAZING SOUPS IN THE WORLD!

FRENCH ONION
I was so amazed at how fast it is to make this soup. It is so good!


INGREDIENTS:
3 Onions, sliced
1/2 C. butter
2 T. instant beef soup mix or 6 beef bullion cubes
4 C. water
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
sliced fresh mushrooms, opt.

DIRECTIONS:
Saute onion in butter, add mushrooms if desired. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer until onions are cooked. Makes 4 servings.

BRI'S TIP: Add the mushrooms! Try topping the soup off with a toasted piece of bread and some swiss cheese.



SAUSAGE AND POTATO

This soup is amazing and it was so easy to make!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 slice pancetta bacon, diced
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 potatoes, cubed
  • 2 cups kale, rinsed and julienned
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Place sausage links on a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done. Cut each link in half lengthwise, and then into 1/2 inch slices. Set aside for later.
  3. In a 4 quart saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and the pancetta for 10 minutes, or until onions are almost clear. Add the garlic and saute for one more minute. Add the chicken base OR bouillon, water and potatoes and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Add the kale, cream and reserved sausage, simmer for 5 more minutes and serve.


BRI'S TIP: If you add the bacon add way more than one slice. Also try serving this awesome soup with some homemade bread sticks!
