    Cold weather meals.

    Its been cold here in SA the last few days. I figured someone else might like this as much as we did.
    I got this off another forum. I made it last night and damn its great. Here is the Recipe Sausage and potato soup. I made it without the onion (wife dont like'em) This stuff is bang'in Post up your favorite recipes and meals.


    1 can chicken broth
    1 can cream of celery soup
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    16 oz. Velvetta cheese
    1 cup water
    1 cup milk
    1 large onion (fist sized) chopped
    4 cups red diced potatoes (w/peels opt.)
    1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Crumble and brown sausage. Drain. Combine can of broth, water, onions, potatoes and sausage. Simmer for 30 mins. Add milk, cheese and soups. Simmer until soups are dissolved and cheese is melted. Make sure to stir the soup every couple min. after you put the cheese in so it won't stick to the bottom.

    Gumbo

    potato soup is the bomb! we use smoked sausage though. i haven't had any in forever.
    we usually make gumbo quite a bit this time of year (chicken, smoked sausage, & smoked turkey necks).

    A Cajun Gumbo

    ingredients:

    1 (5lbs) cut up chicken (i remove the skin optional)
    season chicken to taste with... Cajun seasoning (slap ya moma, tony's, etc...) cayenne pepper, 1 tbs minced garlic, and worcheshire sauce.

    1lb smoked sausage chopped
    1 pack smoked turkey necks (optional but makes a good flavor)
    1 onion chopped
    1 bell pepper chopped
    1 small jar of dark roux (flour and oil that has been cooked)
    4 cups of cooked white rice

    cooking part:

    - fill an upright soup pot about half way with water
    - put stove on med/hi
    - start adding roux to the water (should be 1/2 jar) and stir in. continue to stir ofter and pay attention so that it doesn't stick and burn on the bottom.
    - once roux is fully dissolved the water should be brown. for darker gumbo add roux to liking.
    - stir in onions and bell peppers
    - let sit for 20 min and stir occasionally
    - put in seasoned chicken, sausage, and turkey necks
    - once it starts to boil again lower the heat to med (let simmer)
    - leave the lid off, stir occasionally and let cook for 2 hours or until chicken starts to break apart.
    - serve over cooked white rice. add juice to liking

    feeds probably 8-10 people. leftovers can be frozen and eaten at a later date.
