Soup Series Part 10: Oh She Glows 10 spice vegetable soup but adding spicy Italian sausage. This soup came in first place at our annual Friendsgiving soup cook off! The original recipe is from Oh She Glows by Angela Liddon and can be found here: https://ohsheglows.com/10-spice-vegetable-soup-freezer-friendly-vegan-gluten-free/ The only change I made was adding spicy Italian sausage. I cooked this up first and removed from pan. Then added onions and deglazed pan with a little white wine, scraping up all the good bits at the bottom. From there, I followed the recipe as written. I left out the chickpeas mostly because my pot was about to overflow 😅 #soup #souprecipe #soupseries #soupseason #cooking #recipe
