I have a few certain items that I buy blindly every week because I know that they will get used one way or another. My favorite go to Hillshire product is Johnsonville sausage. I will buy this every week whether I know what I am going to use it for or not. It is so versatile that it can be used for breakfast to make Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, lunch to make Homemade Stromboli with Sausage or dinner to make Ditalini & Sausage Soup it really can be used in so many ways! My favorite way to use Johnsonville sausage is to add it to soup. It is a great way to add protein and flavor without busting the budget.
My most requested soup that I use Johnsonville sausage is my Spicy Potato Soup or a.k.a ( Copycat Spicy Zuppa Olive Garden Soup).
This recipe is so incredibly easy that you can through it together even as a last minute homemade mid week dinner
