Quick and Easy Soup
These two soups are what I call "doctored-up" soups. It is just enhanced canned soup. Try it!
Hearty Vegetable Soup
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cans condensed vegetable soup
2 1/2 cups water
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and crumble.
Saute onions in bacon drippings (about 1 Tablespoon) until lightly browned. Add the cream of mushroom soup and stir until smooth. Add vegetable soup, water and bacon. Heat through, stirring occasionally. Serves 8-10
Oyster and Shrimp Chowder

2 Sausage Soups
These next 2 soups are both made with sausage but taste differently. One is made with smoked sausage and the other with mild Italian sausage.
Smoked Sausage and Kale Soup
1 lb. smoked sausage
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic
2 cans low sodium chicken broth (smoked sausage is salty)
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cans white Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
fresh kale, 8 cups or more
Pepper and hot sauce
Brown sausage, onion and garlic about 5-6 minutes. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, beans. Simmer 15 minutes. Add kale and stir until wilted. Season with pepper and hot sauce to taste.
Italian Sausage Vegetable Soup
Mild Italian sausage is also referred to as sweet Italian sausage. The seasonings in the sausage give a wonderful flavor to this soup.
1 lb. mild Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (I use the jarred kind for this)
3 cups water 2 cups diagonally-sliced carrots
2 Tab;espoons chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon basil leaves
2 (10.5 oz.) cans condensed beef broth
26 oz can Italian plum tomatoes, cut up
4 1/2 oz. (2 cups) uncooked rotini or fusilli macaroni
1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
add water or V-8 juice, as needed, to cook macaroni
In Dutch oven or stock pot, cook sausage, celery, onion and garlic until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain.
Add remaining ingredients except rotini and zucchini. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add rotini and zucchini. Simmer 20 minutes or until rotini is tender. You may have to add water or V-8 juice at this point to thin. Season to taste. Makes 6 (1 1/2-cup) servings.
