My boyfriend used to whine (like a little girl! LOL) when I said I was making soup for dinner. With filling and super flavorful recipes like this one, he's slowly learning that soup night isn't as bad as it sounds! I've also made this on the stove top, but I don't remember how long it needs to simmer for...just until the carrots are done.
Ingredients:
1 lb reduced-fat italian sausage (i make my own http -- or /www.recipezaar.com or reduced-fat-italian-sausage-398027)
1/2 cup onion
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
48 ounces chicken broth
3 carrots, sliced
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach
1/4 cup pearl barley (uncooked)
1/4 cup corn
1/4 cup peas
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can italian stewed tomatoes
2 beef bouillon cubes
Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, saute the sausage with the onion and garlic.
2. Dump into a crock pot and stir in the rest of ingredients.
3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
