[powellrj]

My package went out today! I have a funny story about mailing it out, but I will wait until the exchange is over to tell it. If I tell it now I will give away the location I mailed to! Lets just say it took an actual village to get it in the mail!

Italian Sausage Soup

Recipe By :Sunset
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soup

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 large onions -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
5 cups beef broth
1 pound Italian sausage
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
28 ounces Italian-style tomatoes -- broken up
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 medium green pepper -- seeded and chopped
2 medium zucchini -- sliced 1/4" thick
2 cups dry bow tie pasta -- 1 1/2" size
1/2 cup parsley -- chopped
salt and pepper

In a 5-6 quart pan, combine onions, garlic and 1 cup broth. Boil on high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and vegetables start to brown, 10-14 minutes. To deglaze, stir in 3 tablespoons water to release browned bits.
Cook, uncovered until liquid evaporates and mixture begins to brown again, about 1 minute. Repeat deglazing step 3 more times until mixture is richly browned. Add sausage and 1/2 cup more water. Stir gently until liquid evaporates and meat begins to brown, 8-10 minutes.
Add remaining 4 cups broth. Stir to loosen browned bits., then add wine, tomatoes and their liquid, basil, sugar, green pepper, zucchini and pasta.
Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Simmer until pasta is just tender to bite, about 15 minutes.
Serve hot, with parsley, salt and pepper.
(If made ahead, let cool, then cover and chill up until the next day. Reheat to simmering).

Great to hear that, Barbara. I think I need to get it on the menu soon. We are getting quite chilly here.

Sounds a good amount of packages will be going out Tuesday

I'm sitting here printing out my recipes, and thought I'd share some!

Another easy dessert, this one's been a family favorite for a long time. In fact, the first time one of my future brothers-in-law came for dinner, I served this for dessert (mom was the dinner cook, I was in charge of dessert since I was 10--I've always loved to bake). And every time he came for dinner after that, he requested it, and I've made it for him as a birthday dessert!

1 (14 ½ oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 (14 oz.) cans low sodium chicken broth
3 cups water
½ tsp. dried rosemary
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper



1. Heat oil in large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes or until softened. Add carrots & celery; cook, stirring occasionally. 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover & bring to a boil; reduce heat & simmer gently 1 to 2 hours.
