Pink Soup

I was thinking biscuits and gravy and my husband wanted pasta in a red sauce with hot italian sausage. So we compromised and came up with a winner.

Pink Soup

Ingredients:
1         red onion, diced
1/4 lb  mushrooms, sliced
1 lb     hot italian sausage
1/2 c   flour
4 c      milk
3 c      water
1 c      tomato paste
1 t      salt
1/2 t   garlic
1/2 t   pepper
1/2 t   fennel
1/2 t   basil
1/2 t   rosemary


Directions
1)  crumble and cook hot italian sausage

2)  when sausage is almost cooked add onions and cook until translucent

3)  add in mushrooms, then add in flour, mixing until it coats everything

4)  stir in the milk until well mixed, keep stirring until mixture comes to a boil

5)  mix the tomato paste with water and mix into pot

6)  add all remaining ingredients, bring back to boil then down to a simmer for at least 15 minutes before serving

I suggest serving this with grilled cheese sandwiches
