This is Dave's absolute favorite and you don't have to go to "Olive Garden" to enjoy it.
That sounds so delicious. Do you think it would work as well with Jimmy Dean sausage? I think I'm going to try it this weekend and also substitute coconut milk for the cream.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a substituting rebel in the kitchen although it can lead to disaster. (Do you know I once burned our tongues when I used too much salt in lentil soup? Ick!)
Keep them recipes a'coming!
I love how you put a recipe in every month! I'm going to start doing this too! We love that soup too! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteLindsey--I'm famous for interchanging recipes but I wouldn't change the sausage on this one but hey, let me know how it goes. Ya never know.
