Spicy Italian Soup
From the garden, we made a spicy Italian soup, using many fresh ingredients.
1 lb Italian sausage
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup Basil (rough chop)
1 cup Celery (chopped)
2 cups zucchini (chopped)
3 small turnips (cubed)
2 cans diced tomatoes
3 tsp salt
2 Tbsp pepper
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
In a 4 qt dutch oven, cook the italian sausage and onion until the meat is no longer pink. Add celery, turnips, 1/2 cup of basil, 1 cup of zucchini and turnips. Cook on high for about 10-15 minutes, then add tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining basil and zucchini, salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar. Return to a boil and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread (Sourdough from Breadsmith).
