I was feeling really really bad on Monday. this soup and Fellowship of the Rings made me feel a lot better.
A Strong and Powerful Soup
ingredients:
- 1lb "Italian sausage" (the kind that comes in a block on a styrofoam pad)
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 big carrots, chopped into maybe 1/4" cubes (you know, soup size)
- 3 yellow potatoes, chopped same size as the carrots
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- herbs de provence (lots, I didn't measure)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 cup white wine
- veggie stock
brown the sausage in a dutch ovenuntil you don't see any red. add onions, carrots, potatoes, and some salt. once the bottom of the pot is getting brown, deglaze with a cup of white wine. scrape the browned bits off the bottom. add in tomatoes, herbs, and some more salt. add enough veggie stock to cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
while the soup is simmering, tear the kale leaves into about 1.5" squares (no need to be precise). after 30 minutes, add the kale and garlic into the soup (they'll reduce in size pretty rapidly).
right before serving, add in the balsamic vinegar and pomegranate molasses if you have it.
my bestie and I created this recipe during a period when the homies were withering and we were often called upon to make a ton of food to cheer up several miserable people with very little warning. and brother, it fuckin works
