You know it's a winner when EVERYBODY asks for seconds! (Except GG...but he ate "firsts"...which was a first for anything GREEN...so it counts!)Tonight I tried "Sausage and Greens Soup" from the "Spring" section (pp. 38) of Simply in Season. I doubled the recipe. It was a hit. The only request was for more "bulk" next time with the suggestion that I add more potatoes. That's easy enough. :)
Sausage and Greens Soup (serves 4)
1/2 lb. bulk sausage
Brown in a soup pot and drain all but a spoonful of fat. Remove meat.
1 c. onion, green onions, or chives, chopped
Saute in reserved fat until soft. Return sausage to soup pot.
4 c. chicken or veg broth
1 c. potatoes, diced
salt/pepper to taste
Add, bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are soft, 10-15 mins.
1 1/2 c. evaporated milk**
1-3 c. fresh, tender greens (I used spinach), chopped
Add and cook until tender (really brief for spinach). Garnish with grated Parmesan.
**This is where I thought I'd get in trouble. I used all kinds of milk odds and ends. A little rice milk, a little leftover (freezer) goat milk, a little leftover (freezer) evaporated milk, a little 2%. I could taste the strange combination of milks, but apparently no one else could. [Grin.]

I make a similar soup that is a big hit around here. I use any kind of sausage, yellow onions and garlic. Instead of potatoes, try white beans. I use canned cannellini, adding as many or few cans as I have. I use a ton of spinach, which goes over well as long as it's chopped, and I don't add any milk or cream. I also top it with grated parmesan. We eat this constantly.
Sounds YUMMERS!!!!!
