Kristy's Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup

Kristy's Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a soup my oldest daughter Kristy makes for her family. It is quite hardy and makes for a quick/easy week night dinner soup. This produces a thin based soup. If you want it a bit thicker add a slurry to it. I served the soup with a crusty bread and a green salad. With a creamy base this calls for a wine…

Braised Chicken & Sausage with Kale & Spinach

Braised Chicken & Sausage with Kale & Spinach by Bob Vincent

This braised chicken dish is a good choice on a cool night. Add a salad along with crusty bread and your family will surely be full by the end of the meal. Any cut of chicken can be used but if you use breasts be careful not to over cook them as they will dry out. I used garbanzo beans for the legume but others would work as well.…

Vegetable Broth

Vegetable Broth by Frank Fariello

With the increased interest in vegetarian and vegan diets in recent times, you will find more and more recipes calling for vegetable broth instead of, or as alternative to, the more traditional meat broths.
