Best Canadian German Ham Or Farmer Sausage Soup Recipes

CANADIAN /GERMAN HAM OR FARMER SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Put ham bone or other meat into a very large stock pot and add water to within 2 inches of the top of the pot. Simmer for 40 minutes.
• As the meat simmers add the onion, and the bay leaves and peppercorns in a teaball or cheesecloth bag, or just loose.
• Remove ham bone from the pot to a large bowl and let cool until you can handle it, then cut off and dice the meat.
• Add meat back into the pot and the potatoes and carrots. Boil gently for 15 minutes.
• Add beans and savoury, if using, and simmer until all vegetables are done.
• Check for salt, but ham and farmer sausage are salty meats so salt isn't usually needed.
• Freeze what's left.
• Note: I use a bit more potatoes than carrots, and even less beans.

SUMMA BORSCHT

• Place diced potatoes into a large saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in the green onions, dill, and buttermilk; bring back to a simmer. Stir in the half-and-half before serving.

BAKED FARMER SAUSAGE, POTATOES, AND CARROTS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• If desired, peel frozen farmer sausage. (The best way is to hold it under a trickle of warm water.) Break sausage into 4-6 chunks.
• Place potatoes and carrots into a roaster or large casserole dish. Add water to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Place frozen sausage chunks over top (so drippings will flavour the vegetables), cover, and bake at 375F for 1-1/2 hours.
• Remove from oven and drain juices from casserole dish into a saucepan. (You may want to put the sausage and vegetables in a serving dish now and keep warm in the oven.).
• For gravy: Mix flour and milk together, adding milk gradually so a paste forms and slowly gets thicker -- you don't want lumps! (Actually, a Tupperware gravy shaker works best for this. You can just throw it all together and shake it up without worrying about lumps at all.).
• Add milk mixture to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened. (Depending on how much water content your sausage had, you may need to add a little more flour or milk to achieve the desired thickness.).
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
