A healthy, hearty winter soup is just what you need on a cold night or a hard day at work. This soup can be ready to eat in 30 minutes flat. And if you are on a budget, you can make this soup for less than $7.00! Try it and let me know how it worked for you! If you are feeding more than 4 people, UP the ingredients. But you should be able to make a pot of soup and have it for 2 days - for you and your honey.
Red Geisha used all Trader Joe ingredients for this soup: (I happen to be passing by!)
-1 can of corn
-1 can of black beans
-1 can of diced tomatoes, no salt
-1 package of any sausage (preferably a smoked sausage for rich flavor)
-1 brown onion
-1 tablespoon of garlic
-2 tablespoons of tomato paste
-1 can of chicken broth, 1 can water or half box of TJ's Chicken stock (low sodium)
-Optional: If you want to sneak in more veggies (for little ones) just add a bag of mixed frozen veggies (16oz) of any sort to the soup
Getting all things in a pot for your soup:
-Heat olive oil over medium heat and saute diced onion
-Add garlic (do not brown)
-Add cut sausage into pot, saute w/ onions & garlic
-Add one can of diced tomatoes
-Add tomato paste -Stir until HOT, adjust heat so it's not boiling
-Add can of corn, wait till HOT again
-Add chicken broth, add can of water
-Let the soup come to a boil
-Add Salt/Pepper/Cilantro/Parsley - whatever your taste buds like!
-Lastly, add can of black beans
-Adjust salt, pepper as the soup simmers for 10 minutes
-Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan cheese
Bon Appetit! You just made your Hearty Winter Soup!
How does it taste?
You deserve a tasty meal!
Cheers to being a health-conscious foodie,
