I made Toscana Soup, a hearty Italian soup--it was yummy (and somewhat spicy).
And some panninis...mmm...good! I love my pannini maker (Thanks Mom!)
You just can't beat a Monday afternoon lunch with a friend!Toscana Soup
12 links spicy sausage (I used ground sausage)
1 T vegetable oil
3/4 cup diced onion
1 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 T chicken broth
4 cups water (I substituted additional broth for this)
2 potatoes, halved and sliced
2 cups sliced kale
1/3 cup heavy cream
Cook sausage according to directions. If using links, cut into 1/2 inch slices when cooked.
Heat oil and saute onions until translucent, add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in broth, water (or broth) and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are done.
Reduce heat to low and add sausage, kale and cream. Simmer until heated through.
(I added more broth and cream so that it would be a more "soupy" as opposed to "stewy")
Have a good Tuesday--it's raining here so I think I will curl up and enjoy some leftover soup!

Sounds like a great afternoon and the soup looks delicious...I will have to try that. I love to make pannini's too...where did you find the red pepper spread?
Good morning!!! Lunch was so yummy -- it made it hard to come up with something to fix for dinner.
Did Mike end up getting a day off? I'd like to pick his brain.....our fireplace is leaking, and we are clueless as what to do....eek! The living room carpet is soaked. =(
I knew I should have made the drive down there because that looks DELICIOUS!!!
Sarah, I just was reading your blog and it dawned on me that we used to live right down the road from you. We lived in Sango just off of Exit 11 for about 10 years. My grandfather had a farm that I-24 cut right in half. If you go on I-24 towards Clarksville and cross the Red River, you are driving through my grandfather's old farm. My sister still lives in Clarksville. Stay safe and warm with the weather Y'all are having today!
Good food good friends, you can't go wrong! That looks so yummy!
