Sausage Bread Soup image

This is a delicious soup with smoky and lemony flavors, adapted from a Nick Stellino recipe. It is a little labor intensive, but worth it.

Time 2h5m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
1 carrot, sliced
1 celery rib, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/16 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained, reserve juices (or equivalent fresh)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
4 cups loosely packed day old bread, 1-inch dice (sourdough gives the best flavor)
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
5 ounces low-fat smoked sausage, cubed (or any low fat sausage)
fresh grated parmesan cheese
chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot, saute onion in oil over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
  • Add carrots, celery, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and continue to cook another few minutes.
  • Add the drained tomatoes (reserve juices) and cook about 8-10 minutes more, stirring well.
  • Add sugar and basil and cook 3 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add reserved juices from the tomatoes, bread, and broths. Bring to a boil, stirring well.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent soup from sticking to the bottom.
  • Add sausage and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking.
  • Taste for seasoning; add salt and pepper, if desired. Top with parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve.
