Preparation

Step 1

Saute onions and garlic in the oil. When the vegetables are just transparent add sausage slices and brown lightly. Add beef stock and all other ingredients. Bring soup to a boil -- stirring to keep the bottom of the pot from burning. Reduce heat. Allow to simmer 35 - 40 minutes. Correct seasonings to taste.

Freezes well. Do not freeze potatoes. Cook and at at the time of serving. Easy to double this recipe to serve a crowd. Keep sausage at 1 lb.
