Soup's On

For a cold day; I was contemplating soup. I had to improvise!

Anna's Made Up Soup

2 cups Chicken broth
2 dashes of lemon
1 hot Italian sausage - out of casing
1 cup mushrooms
1/4 cup(ish) Sake
1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup left over pasta w/ onions, toms and mushrooms

Cook sausage, remove from pan w/ slotted spoon. Add sake and deglaze pan. Add butter and mushrooms - cook for a few minutes. Add chick broth, lemon, onion powder, garlic powder and oregano. Bring to a boil and reduce to not quite half.

Add leftover pasta and cooked sausage and simmer for a few minutes.

Put in bowl.
Top with cheese and realize later it would have been better without it.
Eat.
Pine for crusty bread.
Eat more.
Be full.

Yum.
