So I went to an awesome party but not a party for New Years eve, and I made soup to take but we ended up making about 8 homemade pizza and once we were drinking we forgot about the soup!
So I came home with the soup which is now going to be eaten by my husband at some point. Anywho this is probably the best soup you can make for winter as it has all those wintery type things in em. I can make the soup with out the recipe but I thought I would share for everyone that wanted it. The good thing is you can pretty much use any typr of dark green veg in it and it will still be tasty! The original recipe used kale which I like but my husband does not, so now onward to the recipe of tasty soup!

Sausage,Broccoli and potato soup:
12 Sausages (is using chipolatas if not 8 normal sized ones will do)
1 tablespoon oil
125g diced onion (a small-medium one should do I prefer red onions)
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped garlic (1-2 cloves)
2 tablespoons chicken stock granules
950ml water (I always add a bit more, and if using chicken stock just use this amount)
2-3 potatoes, halved and sliced thinly
Broccoli- or any dark green veg you like you can add as much as you like just add more stock/water as needed
75g double cream/4 tablespoons

1. Put sausages in the oven and cook until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
2. Heat oil in a large sauce pan/ or soup pot and saute onions till nearly see through then add the garlic and cook until the onions just start to brown(don't let them actually brown).
3. Stir in the water and add the stock granules stir then you will need to add all of the potatoes,then just let this simmer till the potatoes are cooked through. While that is cooking when the potatoes are halfway done put the broccoli on to boil in a seperate pan and cook so that it is still green but not raw.
4. Necxt when the potatoes are done take a spoon a squish some against the pan.(this thickens the soup and makes it alot nicer) Also add black pepper (just to taste) to the soup but no salt if you used the granules and just stir and let simmer. Once the sausages are chop up into chunks and do the same with the brocoli and add to the pot and warm through then take the pot off the heat and add the double cream and stir then you just need to serve with your favorite bread and enjoy!

So that is probably the best soup you can make in the winter and its all fresh and fairly simple to make. Hope you try it out and enjoy it!
