I've never actually had the soup you mention, but I love to cook & experiment with flavors.
Would you be comfortable sharing the recipe?

Absolutely! Mainly because, If I'm not mistaken, Me(& My Friend) have a very strong feeling that you're the type of good person that would help & invite a hungry stranger into your home for a meal.


This is the base recipe that I followed.

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb hot Italian sausage, casing removed
1 small yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 bell peppers, (red, orange, yellow and green)
2 (14.5-oz) cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
8 Tbsp tomato paste
8 cups chicken broth
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
½ cup rough chopped fresh basil
¼ cup rough chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

Warm an 8 quart stock pot over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil into warmed pan and add sausage; brown sausage for about 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Meanwhile; dice onion and add to pan. Stir to combine. Mince or press garlic and add to pan. Continue stirring occasionally.

Chop peppers and add to the pan. Cook until peppers are crisp tender about 6-8 minutes.

Add tomatoes and stir bottom of pan to remove any bits that are stuck. Add broth and tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Add pepper, basil and parsley. Allow to boil for 10-15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
Serves 6.

The consistency of the Old World Deli soup was kind of between a soup & a stew so I tried adding a bit more tomato paste because wanted to be sure it didn't come out too thin. But when I initially taste tested it ,.....it seemed to be slightly on the "tomato soup" side or was lacking zest. So what I did was to add a good pinch more of dried oregano, a small pinch of the hot crushed peppers(not too much) & a good pinch more of dried basil.
That seemed to do the trick of hitting the right "stew type" consistency & adding the right zest for my taste but everything can easily be fine tuned & adjusted to your own liking.
I also sliced a regular full sized onion & added it to cook with all the bell peppers & was thinking of adding some slices of zucchini next time. If you give it a shot....lmk how it turns out, when ya get a chance. And If ya got any tips or suggestions I'm open to all & now more than willing to try it.
Man I love the herbs & the foods .....& the herbs!

Funny you say that - last night I whipped up a skillet full of Moose liver, onions & bacon for dinner. Mrs. GWN wasn't home (hence the reason I was "allowed" to cook it) and I called a couple of single friends to come over & join me.
I didn't get a single taker.

Uneducated pallet's I suppose. :?

Happy Friday my fellow tokers! I've been having the best time!! Went to a great festival all last weekend and the weather was absolutely perfection!! Saw so many of my favorites and toked many good vape pens full of some sort of haze. Not sure what variety it is but it kicks ass!

My friend, you are the best! I want to try that recipe soon, it sounds delish!! I used to not like turnip greens but this weekend I had some cooked with hot Italian sausage and some good spices and they were out of this world delicious!!

GWN - I'm just not a fan of liver of any kind so I can see why nobody showed up for moose liver! That had to make the house smell just really lovely too!! :clap:

Talon and Kush I am glad to see you guys back around! Don't be strangers!!

I have some newer blues bands I am into after seeing some of them perform recently!

Jarekus Singleton is really fantastic live - super soulful blues man from Mississippi


Matthew Curry is about 19 years old and already a bad ass - dude was amazing live

@Me & My friend - I think I might try making the soup this weekend - I love puttering around the house stoned all day with the puppies & cooking whilst jamming out.
Doggies will be getting baked Halibut as an addition to their standard fare, so you know they're loving life. ;-)

Reminds me of my friend Brian.
He's always got a freezer full of stuff & always Q-ing up something good for himself & his dogs. They have it made.....literally.
Been doing lots of puttering today myself & thinking about what to eat. Man It's late & I'm frickin starving right now.I don't think there's any moose on the loose around here but , speaking of fish, I do think I can get my hands on some descent trout which iv'e been craving for a while.
That's still something that's also going to call for the highest setting on the range hood. Weathers not real good right now but I can but I guess I can do it outside on the Q too. we'll see.
Either way ,I know my dogs will all be waiting in line too, it never fails, but they can't have the trout. Maybe I'll get em some chicken. That should get the tails going on the high setting too.

Some Trout N' some Blue Dream. This is gonna be real good!
& I better make sure I don't forget to call My Mama!

Hope the soup & the weekend is goes Great

I am in a big Junior Kimbrough mood today!

When I first heard Gary Clark Jr's "Bright Lights Big City" I immediately thought to myself, "he ripped off Junior Kimbrough!"

In my opinion it sounds like "I Gotta Try You Girl"

Definitely some major similarities there.
I see you're already having all kind of good times as usual. Keep it rollin & let it ride.

I'm feelin pretty good right about now but I do suppose too much Moose & Fish can sometimes leave one singing like a "Souperman." if she doesn't approve.

"You can have anything from me
I'll give it to you
But my guitar, fish, moose liver & soup is too high price"

I knew they couldn't all just sit there & keep a straight face till the video ends.

Oh friends, my heart feels heavy today as I read our Blues Ambassador and King of the Blues, Mr. BB King has passed away.

The last time I saw him play live was at Eric Clapton's 2010 Crossroads in Chicago.

Thank you for all the beautiful music dear Blues Boy of Beale Street! Mr. Riley B King you are forever loved and respected and I will miss you always <3


Our wedding song written by Doyle Bramhall II


My favorite Robben Ford song - beautiful tribute to Riley B King

Happy Tuesday Fellow Tokers!!!

Had a great weekend, hope you all did too. :joint:bongsmilie

I've been a life long yard sale, thrift store junkie and found so many incredible things over the years at a fraction of the price of retail! At this point it's like a treasure hunt, you literally never know what you can find. My hubs found a Dyson animal vac one day on his lunch break going thru an old junk store wasting time. Paid 24.99 for it and it was practically like new. It lists for over 500 bucks online. I took it apart and cleaned it including the filters, pulled out profuse amounts of dog hair and it worked like brand new. Been using it at least 2 years now.

So last weekend I found a brand new still in the box bread machine that mixes, kneads, and bakes bread and makes pasta/pizza crust and a setting you can make homemade fruit jams. I paid 14.99 for it. Just baked my first loaf of bread in it yesterday and it is DELISH!! I looked it up and its over $60 bucks retail. Works like a dream. I downloaded the manual online and printed it out and am now officially a bread baker! I hate the chemicals on food labels these days and now I know exactly what is in our bread cause I baked it myself!

I also bought an ice cream/frozen yogurt/sorbet machine that was basically brand new in the box for $6.99. Cuisinart - retails for over 50 bucks. Now that it is summer I crave ice cream but don't want the calories so I made strawberry-keylime sorbet last nite with organic honey and it was so good!

I just love a good bargain don't you? I love finding things like this that make my life easier in the kitchen since I love to cook so much!
