Butternut, Sausage and Greens Winter Soup

 

Our Butternut, Sausage and Greens Winter Soup is such a beautiful winter soup. A mix of butternut squash from our garden, smoked sausage, and winter greens from our garden. Along with a spice mix that enhances these vegetables, this is a very special winter soup that we enjoy serving our friends and family. We are serving the soup with our Old Fashioned Buttermilk Cornbread, a fantastic combination!

How To Make

 Butternut, Sausage and Greens Winter Soup

In a large stew pot, quickly brown the

 smoked sausage in some vegetable oil.

Add the onions and garlic and continue to cook

 until the onions are clear.

Cut the butternut squash down the center, remove the seeds. 

Peel the squash and chop into 2 inch cubes.

Place the butternut squash into the stew pot with the sausage mixture.

Add 2 cups of the chicken broth to the mix and stir well. 

Add the salt, pepper, thyme, and ginger to the mix and stir well.

Add the remainder of the chicken broth and

 cook on medium for about 10 minutes.

Next place your greens on top of the soup mix, push them

 down in the pot so they begin to wilt.

Place the lid on the soup and cook on medium-low for 30 minutes,

 until the squash and greens are tender.
