Onions, cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash & (three links of HOT Itallian, five links of sweet, sliced & browned) sausage...
with some dried thyme... and chicken broth... S&P...
Smells wonderful... great soup!
Low fat, low carb... and delicious!
Excellent with a small sliced baguette for sopping!
I love when she makes this, especially on a cold day... like today!

Ha....it must be the weather. I did the same this morning and had a nice Minestrone (Contessa style) going.....added some whole wheat pasta and some tiny turkey meatballs and it was FABULOUS!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Oooo... never tought about the mini-meatballs! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I thought you were the cook? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

What, no beans in that soup?? Sounds delicious anyway, tho.

I just made a pot of Ground Beef and Sauerkraut Soup. Pretty good with a dollop of sour cream on top. Also quite healthy when made with lean ground beef.

Sorry, ground beef and sauerkraut? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" /> OK, sorry, ANYTHING and sauerkraut doesn't sound good to me! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, David looked like that too when I told him what I was making! It really is delicious, but then I like sauerkraut... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok, I like sauerkraut, but know that I have to eat it all myself. But that sounds strange even to me. Sauerkraut soup??? That just sounds strange to me, would never have even considered it as an afterthought even. Might be good, but I could not eat a crock pot full, so will never know. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Eric, that's why we have freezers!

Eric, sausage, sauerkraut, onion & apple soup is to die for!
Or pork chops cooked over sauerkraut & apples, with caraway seeds in the crockpot! Yummm!

I know, you'll proabaly never get them since Carol doesn't like sauerkraut...
Like me with veal... Deb won't have it!

I'm with Carol on this one!! HATE sauerkraut in any form!! We used to live on Long Island and one of the largest producers of SKT was near where we lived and I can still smell the odor!! Lordy!! I'll pass.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />

Brian, I love sauerkraut. A very, very long time ago when I had a huge garden and grew all my own vegetables I used to make my own sauerkraut. Nothing like the fresh homemade stuff.

I love saurekraut! must be the Alsation/German/French side of the family coming out! (depending on which war & where the border was?)

smells like s%$# but tastes good. strange thing is i went from hating it to liking it over night. how'd your wife's soup turn out? i have the slowcooker going now also; in 15min i'll be digging into ribs, compliments of contessa's recipe. i'll post the results. by the smells of it, think this one is a winner.

Deb's soup? always <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />!!!
