Bacon

Soup

1. Gather all the ingredients for the soup: sausage, olive oil, garlic, onion, chicken broth, potatoes, baby spinach, heavy cream, and salt & pepper.

   

2. In a large soup pot, brown the sausage and break it up into small pieces for about 5 minutes. Drain the fat and set aside.

   

3. Skin and cut up the potatoes in ¼ inch slices.

   

4. In the same soup pot add the olive oil and heat up the pot on medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Stir frequently and cook until the onions are translucent for 3 minutes.

   

5. Stir in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil. Then add the potatoes and cook until tender for around 10 minutes.

Cheesy Rosymary Crescents

1. Gather all the ingredients for the crescents: 4 sticks of mozzarella string cheese, rosemary, and Parmesan cheese. Make sure you have preheated your oven to 350°. You can start to assemble the rolls while the soup is cooking to save time.

   

2. I had my mini chef, Tyler's help to make the crescents. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the paper with cooking spray. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.

   

3. Place ½ of the string cheese onto the wide end of each dough triangle.

   

4. Sprinkle each string cheese with ¼ tsp of rosemary and ¼ tsp of Parmesan cheese.

   

5. Roll up each, starting at the wide end until you get to the opposite point. Place on the cookie sheet. Top with the remaining rosemary and Parmesan cheese.

   

6. Bake 12-14 minutes until golden brown.

   

7. Serve immediately with the Zuppa Toscana Soup and Enjoy!
