Number Of Ingredients 10

14 oz smoked sausage or polish sausage
32 oz tomato puree
1 can(s) collard greens, 14-15 oz can, drained
1 can(s) sauerkraut, 14-15 oz can, drained
1 can(s) black eyed peas, 14-15 oz can, drained and rinsed
1 can(s) tomatoes,14-15 oz can, undrained
1 clove garlic, diced
1/2 Tbsp tumeric
1/2 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp oregano, dried

Steps:

  • 1. Cut sausage into pieces and saute until lightly browned. I used turkey sausage but any beef, pork, or chicken would be great as well.
  • 2. In a crockpot, mix together tomato puree, tomatoes, garlic, tumeric, paprika, and oregano. Add more spices as needed. Add sauerkraut, black eyed peas, collard greens, and smoked sausage. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3. Simmer for approximately an hour until hot throught and the flavors have combined.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough space for them to cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of fry.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a little extra kick.
  • Let the soup simmer: After the vegetables have been fried, add the broth and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Good luck soup is traditionally served with wontons, noodles, and vegetables. However, you can also serve it with rice, dumplings, or other toppings of your choice.

Conclusion:

Good luck soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, good luck soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
