~Tasty Tuesday~ Sausage Soup

This one is so simple and so versitle,

you can clean out the fridge or pantry and it still taste so good each & every time.

Base-

Package of your favorite Sausage (I use italian or sage or whats on sale)

1/2 onion diced

2 garlic cloves diced

Broth (I use chicken but beef or veggie can work too)

Cooking-

Start by browing up the sausage,onion,garlic in the bottom of your pot

add in broth/cubes & water

Thats the basics of this soup,

from here on out its up to you, below I'm showing you tonights version, I'll also list a few that went very well in our house.

Tonight I added in a can of spinach (fresh or frozen works great too), a can of tomato sause and a small bag of shells

Tried & true versions:

Mushrooms (fresh or canned)

Mushroom & Zuchini

Spinach (fresh, frozen, canned)

Zuchini , tomato, motzarella cheese (tossed in when served)

Bell pepper trio (fresh or frozen)

add rice or pasta to any of theses

Of course this can be made Primal, GF, Low Carb, DF, Egg Free

17-365 & ~Tasty Tuesday~ all in one

Beef & 3 Bean Chili !



So perfect for this freezing snowy day.









Quick and easy I tell you.

Package of Chili seasoning
1 Onion-chopped
a couple Garlic Cloves-chopped
1 small can Tomato Sauce
1 regular can Tomatoes (here I used fire roasted)
1 can RoTel Tomatoes & Chiles

1 package Lean Ground Beef

I cook my own beans- black, kidney, red
I used 5 laddles worth-juice included
or of course canned works too

1 can black
1 can kidney
1 can red or pink

In my crockpot I heat up the beef, onions, garlic, seasoning.

Then just add in all the canned items plus 1 cup water.

Simmer 6 hours.

Serve with Fritos, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapenos.........




Now to be gluten free just check your seasoning package and select a different one if needed, obviously to be dairy free leave off those select toppings, slightly lowcarb/primal due to the beans you could always eliminate those and of course the Fritos too

Weigh in

Was not pretty!
It turns out my goal is 26lbs & Mike 51lbs.
We will save everyone our total now weights ok.
Atkins is going alright, we are both tired today, which is normal.
We aren't hungry, but not satisfied, again to be expected I'm guessing.
We did get lucky, the Phase 1 book we have has the 2 weeks menu planned out so I just had to shop for the recipes.
