One time in college I was dating a guy and I wanted to impress him so I called my Mom and asked her for a few meals that I could make and freeze to take over to their house. This recipe was the top of the list. It's a wonderful recipe for the start of fall and to use up the very last bit of your garden vegetables while they last.

  3. Either I’m blind or the Italian sausage measurements are missing. My husband wouldn’t mind me erring on the side of too much, though! I can’t wait to make this with the delicious italian sausage that we bought at Costco. Mmmm…

  4. I am getting ready to make this recipe, it sounds delicious! The only problem…your recipe states to “saute the onion and garlic” in the drippings. But there isn’t any onion or garlic listed in your ingredients. Could you tell me the measurements please? Thank you!

  5. Tried this soup last night! It was very tasty and my husband ate it right up! One thing I noticed is that it came out a bit greasy, I assume because of the sausage drippings. Does yours come out this way, too?

  6. This was SOOOO good. I made it last night and my husband raved over it, and he usually isn’t a fan of soup for dinner. My picky 7yo and 4yo girls even liked it and had seconds. I made it exactly as shown and used fre red wine, which is alcohol free. I don’t have a dutch oven, so I used a fry pan and then transfered to a stock pot and it worked fine. I put in ‘4 people’ and it will be plenty for two meals and leftovers for my lunch the day after. Thank you!

  7. This was delish! My 13 month old LOVED it! Awesome way to get her to eat some veggies. I used veggie stock instead of the wine, so good!

  8. This recipe sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it! I also will definitely be using the organic beef paste. We use the Better Than Bouillon vegetable paste all the time to flavor rice!
