I love soups.
I love broths, stews, and anything in between. You can make anything into a soup tbh. There’s something about warm liquid flavorful liquid going your throat that’s just so comforting.
I’ve made soups before but it’s just the usual beef stew or chicken noodle. I was really hankering for new. I’m growing tired of just eating chicken and beef, I wanted to try cooking with some meats I don’t normally cook with but enjoy eating. I wanted something hearty and healthy.
I decided on sausage cause it’s one of those I felt like I could utilize more. I only eat it during breakfast but I’m trying not to be so limiting with my food.
Receipe was fairly easy, I’m not a savant in the kitchen. It was my first time chopping an onion by myself, I was pretty proud of myself tbh. The ingredients weren’t too difficult to find either. You can use any sausage, I got whatever normal kind they had the store. Don’t normally cook with Dijon mustard, I used it as a replacement with the mustard seasoning or powder the recipe called for. All the other seasoning I had cause they’re staples in my house lmao.
Was pretty baked during the whole cooking process but it was fun.
It was such a cute soup. Incredibly meaty as well since I bought like 2 pounds of meat. It definitely does help to soften the veggies in the butter before hand. I used a lot of butter but it added a really great flavor.
I didn’t have all the ingredients initially. I was under the impression that we had chicken broth but I didn’t know that my boyfriend had used it all the in the recent beef stroganoff that we had. Of course the weather was fucking awesome for that trip. No joke, it was like 1 degrees outside. I went to the corner store by my house because it was too cold to walk to any other stores and I didn’t want to ask my boyfriend to bring any on his way home because I wanted it to be a surprise what I was making. I was also mid sausage cooking when all of this was happening.
The one time I need chicken broth, the corner store is out...
I searched the store for like 5 minutes and I couldn’t find anything. This was pre new glasses mind you, I can’t see for shit. I was about to give up when the cashier asked me if I was looking for something and he helped me find it. It was right where I thought it was but it was the cubes. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using bouillon cubes, I just ain’t ever used them. I bought 2 containers of those and still walked up the street to another local corner store/bodega to see if they had the container that I wanted. I don’t know why the container mattered so much to me. It literally didn’t fucking matter at all, I had the broth that I needed but I guess I was just nervous about trying something new.
That store didn’t have the container I wanted either…
They had the cans. I’ve been to this store before soooo many times, they always had the container that I wanted. I was mad as fuck and cold, but I still bought the can kind anyway.
Thankfully the house didn’t burn down while I was away but I did miss Way We Do It by Gee Lee on shuffle 😦
The rest of the cooking process wasn’t bad. It’s a soup so it does most of the work. I think it only took like close to an hour maybe less to cook everything. The hardest part about making it for me personally letting it thicken up. You would think having to go outside in that shit would be the worst of it, but it smelled so good that I almost couldn’t wait.
All in all, it was pretty fucking good. I had 2 servings which doesn’t happen often with anything. Definitely would advise taking a lactaid if you’re gonna make it since it has heavy whipping cream in it. Would definitely make it again. I think next time I’ll make it with egg or buttered noddles, I feel like it could pair well with those.
Let me know if you liked it or if you went a different direction with it in the comments!!
