Happy Monday! I like to start this week with something simple and hearty for dinner. For me, Mondays are the busiest, with planning new recipes and shopping for ingredients, so at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is make an elaborate dinner, especially after a weekend which is when I go all out making dinner for my family. In this recipe the flavourful sausage is simmered in a pesto chicken broth with carrots, potatoes and corn, so plenty of flavours going on. I have also added cheddar cheese to make this soup rich and velvety. Another cheese that goes well in this soup is mozzarella or provolone. To finish the soup, I added fresh basil for extra flavour. This gluten-free potato and sausage pesto soup is one of those warming soups that is great for just about any night of the week. It’s simple, and it’s quick, and you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already. Serving this soup with gluten-free pull-apart soft rosemary rolls or our easy garlic pizza bread finishes this meal perfectly.
