Ingredients
Here is everything you need to make this soup:
- Assorted vegetables – I use broccoli, potatoes, carrots, celery and cabbage, but you can choose the ones you like.
- Smoked sausage – use pork or chicken sausage to your preferences!
- Ginger and garlic – adds a lot of flavour!
- Vegetable stock – or water + stock cubes.
How to make vegetable soup with smoked sausage
Prepare the vegetables. Finely mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the vegetables in small, bite sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot, and add finely diced garlic and ginger. Allow them to saute for a minute, then add the vegetables and the vegetable stock. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce it to a simmer then leave it to cook covered with a lid until the vegetables are soft enough to put a fork through with little resistance.
Slice the smoked sausage, and add it to the cooked vegetables. Leave it for a minute or two to allow the sausage to heat through, then serve the soup while still hot.
Vegetable soup with smoked sausage can be served as is, or with crusty bread on the side.
