1 sausage
celery, about twice as much as you have sausage
onion, about as much as celery
carrot, about as much as sausage, maybe a little less
garlic, the more the merrier
chicken/veggie stock
frozen spinach
herbs, especially rosemary and smoked paprika (also salt and pepper)
Olive oil
(Bonus, truffle oil)
Chop up the onion, celery, and carrot. Chop the garlic fine. Defrost the stock (which you made previously and froze, right?)
Fry the sausage in a pan. Cooked through, brown, etc. Medium heat. Probably want to use a little oil here.
Remove the sausage from the pan, add the onion. While the onion and stuff is cooking, cut the sausage in half lengthwise and chop.
You should be stirring/tossing this periodically
When the onion begins to get translucent, toss in the celery
When the celery begins to soften, toss in the carrot and garlic
Wait a little bit, then toss in the herbs and some pepper, and the chopped sausage
Before the garlic browns, add the stock to cover the stuff in the pan, and then that depth again
You might want some more olive oil here. Fat is yummy!
Taste, adjust seasoning
Bring to a boil, the turn off the heat and lit it sit a bit
To serve, fill a bowl about 1/3 full with spinach, then add hot soup. If the soup isn't super hot, microwave it up. For extra yums, add a little truffle oil. It takes away the peasant cred, but are you really a peasant?
P.S. I'm not dead.
