Made this up as I went along...and it came out great!
3 links polish sausage (though I'm other kinds, like italian, might work well too)
3 c chicken both
2 c water
1 c heavy cream
1 15 oz can artichoke hearts
3 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
one large onion, chopped
2 small sprigs thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
2 pcs bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 large yellow squash, seeded quartered and chopped (other things, like potato or zucchini would work too)
1- in large pot, heat olive oil and add the garlic. Once it's fragrant add the onion and squash and cook until soft.
2- In a separate pan, cut up sausage links in medalions or squeeze out of casings into pan and cook (so it's in chunks)
3- In a blender, puree the heavy cream, artichoke, 1 of the seeded tomato, thyme and abt 1 cup of the cooked onion/squash.
4- Add pureed mixture to pot, along with the broth and water.
5- Once hot, add the rest of the tomato, cooked sausage and bacon and heat through.
Serve with bread. Yummy! Serves abt 6.
