Resolution Recharge Day 10

Can you believe another Monday is here already? We had an eventful weekend in the Bruneski house filled with parties, bike rides and way to many treats. Hopefully everyone found time for a little R&R. Today I'm bringing you a healthy and delish soup recipe that you can throw in your slow cooker. I LOVE soup. They're so forgiving, you can always substitute veggies you have on hand. I rarely use a recipe but I do take note of the creations that have worked for future reference. Please excuse the horrible pictures, they were taken at 7am as I was putting the soup together:)

A Little Bit of Everything Soup

Ingredients 

1 large onion

2 stalks of celery

2 carrots 

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

.5 lb  turkey italian sausage

1 28oz can diced tomatoes undrained

3/4 cup sprouted bean trio (tru roots brand) 

6-8 cups of chicken stock. ( I use epicure selections chicken bouillon)

2 tbsp italian seasoning 

2 bay leafs

3 cups of chopped spinach

 Saute italian sausage and onion together until sausage is browned.

 Dice up celery, peppers, carrots

 Throw everything into your crockpot, starting with the sausage mixture, followed by the diced veggies, the diced tomatoes,the dried beans,  the chicken broth, and finally your seasonings. Cook over low heat 6-10 hours. I would err on the longer time to make sure your beans are soft.

With about 30 minutes remaining, add 3 cups of chopped fresh spinach. When ready to serve, top with a small amount of parmesan cheese and croutons (optional). Because there are no noodles in this soup, it reheats like a dream. The italian sausage gives such a nice flavor and because it's made from turkey, the recipe is really low fat. 

Enjoy!
