Yes, I do have some really hearty tasting soup recipes, hun. The only problem is that I don't have a kitchen at the moment. For Christmas, my hubby wanted to give me a brand new kitchen and it's looking wonderful. All new kitchen everything! But everything I own, including my appliances and my recipes are in covered boxes in our garage. If I could get to them easily, I would do so. I'll be able to share some of my recipes with you at another time, dear! And I'm so sorry that I don't have anything readily available to give you. We're calling in food right now. But have you ever tried any of the Bear Creek packaged mixes? You can always use those as a base and add more veggies and whatever type of meat is your favorite. They really aren't bad on their own, but they are really tasty when you add a few fresh ingredients. Adding your own ingredients always personalizes these soup base recipes. Some of the upper scale grocery stores carry them.

Zinfandel Minestrone - a delicious vegetable soup!! The sausage gives the soup a rich flavor. Everyone always asks me for this recipe.

1 pound hot Italian sausage
1 pound mild Italian sausage
1 chopped onion
3 carrots, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 quarts chicken broth
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans cannelloni beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon dried basil
¼ cup Zinfandel
2 cups large shell-shaped pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

1. Squeeze sausages from casings into a large pan. Cook until brown and crumbly, approximately 10 minutes. Discard fat.
2. Add carrots, onion, zucchini, and garlic. Cook for about 6 minutes until onions are soft.
3. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, basil, and Zinfandel. Bring to a boil.
4. Add pasta. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
5. Add salt and pepper. Serve into bowls and top with parmesan cheese.

I always do a big batch of lentil soup, my way is to boil lentils, carrot, onion and potatoe in chicken stock then liquidize this makes it really thick. Can't remember the quantities so that's usually guess work. ENJOY.
