NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
" It is difficult to think of anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." ~ Lewis Grizzard
I came upon this quote while searching for recipes this week and agree that there is nothing quite like the exploding flavor of a homegrown tomato. Having grown up on a potato farm, I must also add there is also nothing quite like eating baby red potatoes fresh from the ground…
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
…must be why this recipe for Tuscan Soup appealed to me this week. The original recipe called for cubing whole potatoes, but I used quartered baby reds instead.
TUSCAN SOUP
48 ounces chicken broth- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 pound hot Italian sausage
- 2 pounds baby red potatoes, quartered
- 5 ounce package spinach, chopped
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shredded Parmesan cheese
Crumble sausage into frying pan, add chopped onion and cook until meat is no longer pink.
Combine cooked meat, potatoes and broth in a large pot. Boil until potatoes are cooked. Add spinach and boil until lightly cooked. Remove from heat, stir in evaporated milk and season to taste. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese.
