Udon Sausage Soup

Jonathan just LOVES this soup. 

It's just something I made up one day, using whatever I happened to have on hand. 

Now, everyone requests it! 

1 lb. Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa (We like Hillshire Farms)

chicken broth

1 can chopped tomatoes and peppers (like Rotel)

1/2 head of cabbage (or a bag of frozen chopped spinach)

green pepper

celery

udon noodles (available in freezer section of any Asian market)

********************************

Slice sausage thin and brown in dutch oven. Add veggies and stir fry for about 10 minutes or until they are wilted. Add tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer about 30 minutes. Add frozen udon noodles, simmer another 10-15 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

Gather ingredients.

Slice sausage thin. Toss into pot to brown.

While sausage is browning, slice your cabbage and other veggies. 

I use about 1/2 of a green pepper and about one stalk of celery.

Sausage is about done.

Add sliced cabbage.

Add celery and peppers.

Get the broth ingredients ready.

Stir fry the solids till everything is wilty and cooking nicely.

Add tomatoes and cook a few minutes longer.

Add broth and turn heat to high and bring to boil. Boil for about 30 minutes.

When veggies are done to your liking, add the noodles.

Simmer with noodles until they are tender.

Doesn't that look good!

Serve up a big bowl with some hot bread on the side.

Oh, don't forget the chopsticks for those who dare! :D
