This recipe was a result of several trial + error recipes using pork sausage. Although our family loves pork sausage, (I mean come on, we are hog farmers + all) finding recipes that call for pork sausage are difficult to find + take a bit of creativity.
This recipe has a few unique ingredients that I didn’t initially think would taste great together in a soup, but after throwing everything together the flavor is fantastic!
Each time I try a new recipe I’m always skeptical to test it out with the Hubs because he is incredibly picky! (Crazy enough, I never worry about Luke (our son) because he will eat pretty much everything! THANK GOODNESS I have someone else in our home who enjoys trying new recipes just as much as I do!) BUT as it turns out, the Hubs actually really enjoys this soup! (insert happy dance 🙂 )
This is a super easy + delicious recipe the whole family is sure to love!
