Italian Sausage & White Bean Stew

3/16/2025

0 Comments

 
Sometimes, you just need to make soup. This Italian Sausage and White Bean Stew was born from such necessity on a cold winter’s night in Northeast Wisconsin, and I am only just getting it posted as the weather starts to shift into spring mode. However, you never know when the weather will shift and prove we have been in a false spring all along. If you find yourself needing a tasty comfort meal that utilizes pantry ingredients at the helm, look no further than this one.

I often keep Italian sausage on hand for use in my pasta sauces, so this came at the end of a long break from going to the grocery store. It’s one of the recipes that I’ve developed out of my leftover ingredients at the end of the week that I’m super proud of, and I hope it will be something to help you pinch pennies as grocery prices continue to rise.

The spices of the sausage do most of the heavy lifting here, removing the need to do any shopping in the spices aisle if you’re just starting out. The cans of beans and tomatoes that help bulk it up are all shelf stable, and if you have freezer veggies taking up space, this is a great way to use those up.

Egg Roll In A Bowl

1/10/2025

Egg Roll in a Bowl soups are quite common in the Midwest. It’s cold nowadays, and if we can make a thing into a soup to warm us through to our bones, we are going to do it. I took the classic Egg Roll in a Bowl and applied the flavors of several other egg roll recipes from creators such as the Woks of Life to jazz up a reliable ally in the war against Upper Midwestern Winters. 

That said, the ingredients are fast becoming more and more accessible across the country. There was a time where shaoxing cooking wine would be an Amazon Only kind of purchase for me. Every grocery store I’ve ever visited in the city of Green Bay now carries it. Hopefully that trend continues in other regions of the country. If not, it is available online. You can skip it in favor of another ¼ cup of beef broth, but I think the wine adds necessary flavor to the soup.

Any leftover soup freezes well. I often pull out my leftovers of this soup to go with a dinner of pan fried dumplings or the shameful container of grocery store sushi. Enjoy with some fried wonton strips on top for some extra crunch.

With cold weather finally settling in up here in Northeast Wisconsin, it’s definitely soup season. What better way to contribute to our ongoing rotisserie chicken series than a classic chicken noodle soup. Rich, flavorful, and comforting, you can’t go wrong with this one on a cold winter’s night.

This recipe comes in for 0.72 per serving, which is half the price of a can of campbell’s chicken noodle soup. Talk about a bargain! By utilizing the bones from the rotisserie chicken to make ten cups of chicken broth with other ingredients in the recipe, you can save yourself a lot of money.  Freezing instructions are included in the recipe card to help you save some of this for those sick days where you need an easy, accessible option.
