Okay, I'm gonna share one of my favorite soup recipes. This is actually a soup from Olive Garden
, I found the recipe online, but tweaked it to make it MUCH BETTER
. Let me know what you think, if you decide to make it. I gotta say though, everyone that has it, loves it!
So here goes, with the tweaks next to the original recipe.
1lb of Ground Italian Sausage
1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (I add about 1/2 tsp more)
I large diced onion (I personally use less, maybe half)
4 Tbsp bacon pieces (I add about 1/2 Tbsp more)
2 tsp garlic puree (I add about 1/2 tsp more)
10 cups water
5 cubes chicken bouillon (I use 2 more cubes, I crush mine so they mix faster)
1 cup heavy cream (I add 1/2 to 3/4 cup more)
1lb russet potatoes, cut into cubes
Sautee Italian Sausage and crushed red pepper in a frying pan. Drain excess fat, refrigerate while you prepare other ingredients. In the same pan; sautee bacon, onions and garlic until onions are soft.
Mix together the chicken bouillon and water in a large pot, add potatoes, bacon, onion and garlic, cook until potatoes are soft about 30 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and sausage and cook until thoroughly heated.
This soup is really good with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
