INSTRUCTIONS

In a nonstick large saucepan, brown the sausage. Remove and let cool.
Coarsely chop.  While the sausage cool, brown the onion in olive oil,
stirring  frequently until soft and sweet. Add garlic and pepper. Add
the  potatoes, fennel stalks, and bacon bits. Stir to warm. Then add
the  water or broth. Season with bouillon base and a sprig of tarragon.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the tarragon
sprig. Mash some of the potatoes to thicken the soup. Add the  sausage,
finely shredded cabbage or kale and spinach. Add water, if  needed.
Taste and add chopped oregano to taste (about 1 teaspoon  fresh, 1/4
teaspoon dried.) Heat gently (do not boil) for about 8 to  10 minutes.
Serve. PER SERVING: 160.8 cals, 5.5 g fat (29.9% cff).  A country soup
with the intriguing tastes of fennel and tarragon;  similar to Olive
Garden's Toscana. Dec 97 /path  TIP: Some may wish to keep the fennel
weed (leaves) whole so that  they may be removed before serving. Try
Jimmy Dean's Turkey Sausage  or the Turkey Store's Italian, casings
removed.  Recipe by: Pat Hanneman in Soup Scoop (Dec 1997)  Posted to

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
