Sausage Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin Sausage Soup

Soup is one of my favorite things to eat, I enjoy it very much and so does my daughter. I was watching a show called “My Family Recipe Rocks” and came across a recipe for pumpkin sausage soup, my mouth was watery as I watched them make it because although the ingredients are simple, they are ingredients that I love. 

I made a few changes to the recipe because I did not want to make it with pork which is what the recipe called for and this is the recipe I came up with and it was so delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

1. 1 pound of Chicken Sausage 1 large sweet yellow onion, chopped 
2. 1 Package of baby bella mushrooms (sliced) 
3. 2 Cans of pumpkin 
4. 4 Cups of Chicken broth 
5. 1 tsp dried oregano 
6. 1 tsp dried thyme 
7. .5 tsp dried rosemary 
8. 1 tsp sweet paprika 
9. 1 pinch of red pepper flakes 
10. Sea salt and pepper to taste 
11. 1 tsp olive oil 
12. 1 can of coconut milk (Not to be confused with coconut cream) 

In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add chopped sweet yellow onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until onions become translucent. Add chicken sausage until cooked through. 

Once sausage is cooked through add the spices, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir in canned pumpkin and mix well. Add chicken broth, mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours and then add the coconut milk (mix well). 

Remove from heat for 10 minutes and enjoy.
