Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage, crumbled
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and cutting the bacon into small pieces.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy and releases its fat, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add the crumbled sausage to the bacon and cook together, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon and sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- In the same pot with bacon fat, sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Return the cooked bacon and sausage to the pot and stir to incorporate.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning one final time before serving hot.
Tips
- Use high-quality sausage and bacon for maximum flavor depth
- Don't rush the bacon and sausage browning process - those crispy bits create incredible taste
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning garlic and onions
- Let the soup simmer slowly to allow ingredients to meld together
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or garnishing with fresh herbs
- This soup freezes beautifully for up to 3 months, making it perfect for meal prep
- Serve with crusty bread or croutons for added texture and enjoyment
