Today is the day! Make soup - lots of it! I use my largest pot and pour it into jars and seal it - stays good in the fridge for a month - although it usually doesn’t last that long!
Featured today:
Farmer sausage soup!
Place a raw farmer sausage in a pot with 8 cups water, 1 large onion, several bay leaves and 2 tbsp salt and 1 tsp peppercorns.
Bring to a boil and let simmer 20 min.
Meanwhile peel and dice 4 cups potatoes.
Remove the sausage to chop it up and add potatoes - bring to a boil, add chopped sausage.
Add a few sprigs of fresh parsley (2 tbsp dried parsley)
(*tip- I buy fresh parsley and either freeze it or let it dry on a cookie sheet in dry place for a few days)
Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Once potatoes are soft, add 2 cups of fine egg noodles.
Let come to a boil and turn off and let sit for 5 minutes and serve with fresh biscuits!
To store soup:
If you have soup leftover, get some jars. Put lids in boiling water for a few minutes. Pour boiling water into jars to heat them (they seal better when you put hot soup into hot jars) and pour out.
Re-boil soup if it has cooled. Scoop hot soup into jars, put lid on, let sit until cooled - lids should snap within an hr to indicate they are sealed. Store in fridge until the next time! And enjoy!
