Winter Holiday Soup

We're enjoying this on a cold snowy day. This soup is amazing! It's loaded with vegetables and flavored with andouille sausage...just 30 minutes from the pot to your bowl! :)

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 4 cups of water
• 1 1/2 cups of chopped andouille sausage
• 3 cups of uncooked Christmas pasta
• 4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp of Italian seasoning
• 1 cup of chopped or shredded carrots
• 1 (14.5) oz. of diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of chopped onion
• 2 1/2 cups of kale (fresh or frozen) 

Directions
Cook the Christmas pasta according to the package directions being careful not to overcook it. Set aside.

Heat a large pot on medium-high and add the olive oil. Let the oil get hot and then add the all-purpose flour. Stir to combine and let the sauce thicken. 

Add the 4 cups of water and heat the water until it begins to boil. Add the uncooked chopped andouille sausage. Add the chicken bouillon cubes, black pepper, and Itailian seasoning. Cook for 20 minutes. 

Add the kale and onions to the pot and cook for 10 more minutes and remove the pot from the heat.

Serve the soup by adding the cooked Christmas pasta to each bowl and topping the noodles with the prepared soup. This will keep the noodles from becoming soggy or overcooked.

Enjoy!

Makes 6 servings.
