Good morning, KT'ers. It's a little warm here for soup today~

SPINACH & SAUSAGE SOUP w/HOMEMADE CROUTONS

2 Tbsp olive oil

10-12 oz (300-340 g) fresh Italian sausage, casings removed

2 cloves garlic, minced

Half onion, finely diced

1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or a combo of dried rosemary, oregano, and basil)

1/2 tsp pepper

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

3 cups water

3/4 cup tiny shell or tubetti pasta

6 cups fresh baby spinach

2 cups cubed day old bread (I used regular white bread, but baguette or French bread would also be great)

4 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 (for croutons). In large saucepan, heat 1 tsp of the oil over medium-high heat.

Brown sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon, 5-6 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove sausage from pan, set aside, and drain fat from pan.

To same pan, add garlic, onion, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened (about 2 minutes). Add broth and water to pan and return sausage to pan. Cover and bring to a boil. Add pasta; reduce heat and cook until pasta is al dente, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, toss bread with remaining olive oil and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and a dash of pepper. Bake at 375 until golden brown, about 10 minutes. When pasta is cooked, turn off heat, add spinach, and stir just until wilted (about 30 seconds). Serve soup sprinkled with croutons and Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.

Pork Diane (Campbell's)

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 small sweet onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup brandy 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular, Healthy Request or 25% Less Sodium)
1/2 cup Swanson Chicken Stock
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. coarse-grain mustard

1 Season the pork as desired.

2 Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until it's well browned on both sides. Remove the pork from the skillet.

3 Add the onion to the skillet and cook until it's tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4 Stir the brandy in the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir in the soup, stock, Worcestershire sauce and mustard and heat to a boil. Return the pork to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

TIP:
Instead of the brandy, you may increase the stock to 3/4 cup.

BACON JAM

1 lb good-quality bacon
... 1 small onion, finely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup coffee, cola or beer
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

Roughly chop the bacon and cook it in a heavy pot; transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, draining off most of the drippings. Saute the onion and garlic cloves in the rest for 5 minutes, until soft and starting to turn golden.

Return the bacon to the pan, add the brown sugar, coffee and maple syrup and cook over medium heat for half an hour, or until deep golden and thickened to the consistency of jam.

If you like, cool and pulse in the food processor for a finer texture. Serve warm or cold. Keeps in a sealed container in the fridge for a week or two, if it lasts that long.

My adult kids and I love this stuff! DH doesn't like it of course, he is the fussiest butt I have ever seen. Its fairly quick for lunch if you thaw the dough in the morning. Ham and Swiss Stromboli 1 loaf of thawed frozen bread dough 6 oz deli sliced ham, diced 6 green onions,sliced (I don't use them) 8 bacon strips,cooked and crumbled (I use Oscar Meyer bacon bits) 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (I use 6oz slices and dice it up) Roll out dough on a greased baking sheet. Place ham over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges;sprinkle evenly with onions,bacon and cheese. Roll up jelly roll style,starting with long side. Pinch seams well to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut several 1/4 inch deep slits on top of loaf. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees or til golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.

No it's not Rachael Ray I don't think. I'm positive it came out of a Real Simple magazine. I've got R.R's Big Orange Book that I'm trying to sell on Kijiji. Hubs gave it to me for a gift, but I'm not going to get the use out of it that I want. No takers yet though, and it's been up there for a while!

This is great comfort food. Everyone asks for the recipe and it is so easy and versatile. Chicken Pot Pie 1 can Veg-All - partially drained (or any leftover veggies in the fridge) 2 cans Campbells Cream of ......Potato (my fav) or Mushroom or Chicken or Celery or whatever your fav is. Lots of time I use 1 Potato and 1 Mushroom 1 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken - I usually buy about a pound of chicken tenders. I season with seasoned salt or lemon pepper or whatever is on hand and a little poultry seasoning. I put them in single layer, cover and microwave. My sister always buys a roasted chicken at the grocery and just uses it. Some people use leftover chicken or turkey. I told you this is so versatile. Mix together. Put into a 9 inch (deep dish, if you have it) pie plate. Do not get it too full! If you use a lot of chicken or extra veggies, you will need to make the big pie and one or two small ones. 1 cup water 1 cup Bisquick 1 stick butter/margarine - melted Mix these together. This will be soupy - not thick. Pour over the top of the chicken mixture. ( This is why you don't want to fill the pie pan too full.) Cook at 375 degrees for 45 - 55 minutes until top is golden brown. Enjoy! This freezes very well. I make small ones in the little disposable loaf pans and freeze them. Very handy for lunch. This recipe is so easy and can be changed to suit your taste. It's a great dish to take to someone that is sick or just a welcome to the neighborhood gift in the winter. I usually make two and give one away.
