Soup is one of my favorite things to make and I'm told I'm good at it. This coming Sunday is the 207th Annual Business Meeting at my church and I will be making a soup lunch for those who will attend (maybe 50). I am going to make 3 types, loaded baked potato, Italian wedding, and cream of tomato basil. Last week I made a nice sausage soup with wild rice and tomatoes. I started by chopping an onion small and crushing a garlic clove and cooking it a few minutes in a splash of olive oil. Then I added one of those horribly bad for you (but tasty) sausages like Jimmy Dean and smashed it into little bits and cooked it with the onion and garlic.
I added some chicken stock and canned cherry tomatoes and seasoned it with salt, pepper, and some fennel seeds crushed.
Once it came back to a boil I added some wild rice and let it cook for an hour until the rice was well cooked. Ten minutes before eating add a some orzo just to add another texture and some bulk. I added a little dried spice and some cayenne pepper which adds a nice kick.
It's not very pretty but very tasty.
