Crock of Savory Vegetable Stew
Why I Love This Recipe
I have been making this one since I was in High School. It originally came from a Favorite Brand Name cookbook, which I no longer have. This was my favorite recipe from the entire book.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 c (4 med) sliced carrots
1 c chopped onion
1 c sliced celery
1 lb pork sausage links, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 c shredded cabbage
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1 c apple juice
15 oz can tomato sauce
14.5 oz can whole tomatoes
10 3/4 oz can tomato soup
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
In a 2 qt saucepan combine carrots, onions, celery and sausage. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sausage is browned and vegetables are crisply tender (8-12 minutes). Pour off fat.
Meanwhile in a 3 qt saucepan combine remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through (12-15 minutes). Stir in cooked sausage and vegetables. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until stew is thickened (20-30 minutes).
