Italian Turkey Sausage, Arugula and Potato Soup

 This weekend has been a weekend of cooking soup.  While it wasn't exactly Fall weather here in September in this High California desert, it was cooler than it has been and the air-conditioning worked well.  I have been trying to restock my freezer soups with leftovers from my weekly soup night, but we haven't had many leftovers lately, so I decided to cook up five different recipes and freeze them for lunches and such.  This first one is actually the last one I made and it was loosely based on one I found in a cookbook on my shelf titled The Ultimate Soup Bible by Anne Sheasby.  I deleted a few of the printed ingredients from that recipe and added a few of my own.


Ingredients

1 T. olive oil

1 cup diced onions

2 stalks celery sliced

2 cloves garlic

2 pounds yellow potatoes, diced

2 carrots sliced

6 cups chicken broth

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp pepper

1 T. Italian Seasoning

1/2 T. Favorite all-purpose soup seasoning (I used Tatyana's)

1 pound ground turkey sausage, browned and drained

4 ounces arugula



Directions

1.  Heat olive oil in pot, and cook the onion until translucent.  Add in the celery and garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.  Add potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and seasonings.  

2.  Bring to a boil and let cook until potatoes and carrots are soft. Add sausage and cook 5 minutes more.

3.  Remove from heat and stir in arugula. Freeze for eating later or Add toppings of choice (cheese, etc. and serve)
