soup recipe

Here is the recipe for the soup I took to church sunday. It makes a LOT so get a spoon!

Southern style Minestrone

one chicken skin removed
one large can of crushed tomatoes
one small can of diced tomatoes with jalepenos
one small can spinach
one small can white Northern beans
one bag of frozen gumbo veggies (okra, corn,onion,celery,red pepper)
one package smoked sausage
one lb rotini noodles uncooked
2 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp seasoning salt
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
4 cups water

In a large stock pot place the chicken and enough water to cover. Add seasonings and boil until meat falls apart

remove bones from chicken and return to stock.
Add 4 cups water.
Add all canned veggies, do not strain out water
add noodles
add sausage
simmer for a long time on low or until the noodles are cooked soft... I took a nap while it cooked

Tastes pretty darn good.
