Parmesan Sausage soup

 🍲 Warm up with this Creamy Parmesan Italian Sausage Ditalini Soup! It’s rich, cozy, and packed with delicious flavors perfect for a chilly night. 🧀💛


Ingredients:


1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup small pasta (ditalini or elbow)

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:


Cook the Sausage:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks until it is browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

Add Tomatoes and Broth:

Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the Pasta:

Add the pasta to the boiling broth mixture and cook until it is al dente, approximately 8–10 minutes.

Make it Creamy:

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and thicken the soup.

Add Sausage Back In:

Return the cooked sausage to the pot, stirring to combine with the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy this hearty Italian-inspired meal!

Zucchini Muffins

 6 medium eggs or 5 large

▢75 g / ⅔ cup coconut flour

▢125 g / 1 cup packed grated courgette/zucchini

▢75 ml / ⅓ cup coconut oil melted, or butter

▢50 g / ¼ cup granulated sweetener

▢1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

▢1 teaspoon cinnamon

▢¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

▢1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit.

Grate the zucchini and melt your coconut oil in a pan or the microwave. If you do not want to see green specks in your muffins, peel the zucchini first. There is no need to squeeze any liquid out of the zucchini.

Beat the eggs with an electric mixer or in a food processor until pale and about double in size. This takes around 3 minutes.

Add all other ingredients except the zucchini and mix well.

Stir in the zucchini.

Line a muffin pan with paper cups and fill each cup with the dough.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Brownie Muffins

 I always make brownies in muffin pans. They are all crispy outside and chewy inside. Then we arent fighting over the corner pieces lol

I used 2 boxes of brownie mix to make 24 cupcake brownies. I add an extra egg. Spray the pans very well with nonstick spray and they'll pop right out using the tip of a butter knife. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pans


Enjoy ❤
