    Turkey Sausage Stew


    Source of Recipe


    www

    4 or more cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
    1 onion, diced in 1/2-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 hot peppers, like jalapenos (fresh) finely chopped (optional)
    1/2 pound Italian-style turkey sausage
    1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, diced in 1/2-inch pieces
    1 cup diced carrots
    1 15-oz can navy beans
    1 15-oz can kidney beans
    2 15-oz cans diced tomatoes
    1 cup water
    2 bouillon cubes
    2 cups frozen corn kernels
    Chopped cilantro to taste
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Saute the onion, garlic and hot pepper (if used) in a large stockpot,
    until the onion is translucent. Crumble the sausage in and add
    the chicken. Saute lightly. Add carrots, water and bouillon cubes.
    Heat until bouillon cubes are dissolved. Add beans, and tomatoes,
    cilantro and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat
    thoroughly. I sometimes check for flavor balance and add (horrors!)
    ketchup, for added sweetness and tang.

    I often make this sort of soup, as it offers an ideal ratio of
    protein/carbo/vegetable matter, when served with a thick slice of
    homemade whole-wheat bread (from the machine), and since it freezes
    well, it's instant food on those evenings when doing penance at
    the library is the fitting punishment for those of us who thought
    we were entitled to sleep too.
