comment, 'But where's the sausage soup?' " She originally got the recipe
from a pamphlet.
16 servings
For a comfort-food supper, serve with hot rolls or garlic toast.
Tester's note: For a little more kick, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Cajun
spice mix.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups water
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans Cajun-style stewed tomatoes
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced peeled tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen whole kernel corn
3 cups cubed cooked ham
1 1/2 pounds fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat vegetable oil.
Sauté onion, green pepper and green onions until tender, about 5 minutes.
Using a wire mesh strainer, slowly shake flour into onion/pepper mixture
while
stirring frequently, until bubbly.
Have water handy and ready to add slowly, a little at a time, while
still stirring
until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Add stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and tomato paste and mix well.
Stir in corn, ham and sausage.
Season with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
Add water if necessary to maintain a slightly thick consistency, like a
stew.
