Sausage Zuppa Toscana Soup

I made this soup for the first time tonight......my family LOVED it! I've seen a lot of different recipes for a Sausage Zuppa Toscana Soup on the internet, but didn't know which one to try. Well....I took different ingredients from a couple of recipes that looked good and came up with this one!

AND the best thing about this recipe....is that everything I used is THRIVE foods except the Garlic!

Ingredients:

½ cup Sour Cream Powder

2 TBSP Velouté Sauce

1 TBSP Chicken Bouillon

½ tsp Garlic Powder

½ cup FD Chopped Spinach

¼ cup Freeze Dried Onions

1 cup Instant Pinto Beans

3/4 cup Freeze Dried Sausage Crumbles

1 cup Potato Chunks (dehydrated)

  

½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper (optional)

*You can make this recipe as a Meals in A Jar-just layer the ingredients in a quart size jar.*

Directions:

To cook in a pot, dump all ingredients of this jar into a pot. Add 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes and beans are tender.

To prepare in a crock pot, add soup to 8 cups of water and cook on low for 4 hours. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and bread sticks.
