Italian Sausage & Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
- 1 lb. baby potatoes, or fingerling potatoes
- 4 carrots, diced
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- Bay leaf
- 1 tbsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 16 oz. chicken broth
- 8 oz. water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 cups chopped collard greens
- 1 can rinsed and drained Great Northern beans
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1 tbsp. Garden Gourmet basil paste or fresh basil for garnish
Directions
Heat your pot over medium heat.
Dice your vegetables, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Chop the collard greens.
Add the olive oil, diced carrots, diced onions, into the hot pot. Saute until just barely fork tender, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes. Add the sausage, brown and piece into bit size pieces. Once the sausage is browned, another 3-4 minutes of stirring occasionally add the potatoes. Stir to combine the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the seasonings, broth and water. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Then add the collard greens, and rinsed Great Northern beans. Simmer to heat through 2-3 minutes, the greens will reduce in size.
Then add the Parmesan cheese and cream, or coconut milk and nutritional yeast for a dairy free option. Season with some basil paste or fresh basil just before serving.

Spicy Coconut Shrimp Soup
(From Core 7 Fueled Cookbook)
Ingredients
- 1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp. yellow curry
- 1/2 lb. large shrimp (26/30), deveined and shell off
- 1- 15 oz. can lite coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small zucchini, spiralized
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 limes, sliced
Directions
In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, and jalapeno pepper until tender, over medium heat for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the curry powder, minced garlic and stir to heat through. Add the shrimp and toss until the shrimp starts to cook, or turn pink. 1-2 more minutes, only. Then add the coconut milk, and vegetable or chicken broth. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat just a few more minutes, but don’t bring to a boil. It will overcook your shrimp. Once the soup has heated through, just about 3-4 minutes, divide soup mixture into 4 bowls. Top with ribbon zucchini, chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve with sliced limes. Serves 6-8
