Sage Sausage "Stoup"

Stoup= a mix between soup & stew

We tried this recipe last week. I forgot to get a picture but it tasted sooooo good! Everyone should try this...even the little ones can help make it. Will loved tasting the carrots while I was chopping them (don't worry, I didn't use those ones!).

Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 5 hours
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1 lb Sausage
1 1/4 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 onion, diced (I only sliced mine)
3 cups sliced carrots
3 cups green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (I used canned)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn (I used canned)
6 cups chicken broth (don't use chicken bouillon, it makes it too salty)
1 tsp beef bouillon granules
1 cup orecchiette pasta

Directions:

1. In medium skillet over medium heat crumble and cook sausage until brown. Stir in sage, thyme and garlic. Transfer to slow cooker. Add onion, carrots, green beans and corn. Add chicken broth and bouillon. Cover and cook on low 5 to 7 hours. One half hour before serving, turn heat to high and stir in pasta. Cover and cook 30 minutes or until pasta is tender. Enjoy!

Tip: Next time I make this meal I'm going to switch out the pasta and use red potatoes instead. The pasta just didn't seem to fit. It was still good but just felt like something was missing.
