This stew is wonderful! (I'm eating it right now for lunch and will be eating it for lunch for the rest of the week as well.) I usually have to do a lot to recipes I find on the internet to make them taste how I like, but I made this exactly how you present it (except I didn't have any ground fennel) and it's perfect! Thanks!

MIZZ, I think you could use about any sausage that suits your tastebuds and dietary preferences.

Cee Jay, as long as the sausage has 10% fat or less it's fine.

I've made this soup many times over the years. I got it out of a Pillsbury "One Pot Meal" book. The only addition for me is sliced zucchini and summer squash toward the end of cooking time. I'm glad to know that turkey Italian sausage is on the approved list for phase one.

In the winter, I'm all about the one dish soup or stew. There's something so satisfying about it! This sounds delicious with all of it's italian flavors...something i'd really adore!

I could eat soup or stew every day, too, and hearty stews like this are my favorites. I also want to use my slow cooker more often, especially when it's the perfect tool for cooking stews like this one.

Sweeney, many of my recipes are naturally gluten free. There is a gluten-free category in the index too (specifically for recipes that might normally contain gluten but don't.) Since you can't eat bread on phase one, there are a lot of gluten-free recipes in the Phase One index too.

I love how filling all your meals look! Have you g...

Kalyn-- DELISH recipe! I've tried so many of your recipes, and have enjoyed them all. Made this for the first time last night -- did it stovetop b/c I needed it to get done quicker, and didn't have bay leaves, only had one can of diced tomatoes (italian spiced), but it turned out so tasty... will make the crockpot version next time. Thanks for your recipes -- just started South Beach 9 days ago. I'm down 8lbs and loving it thanks to your recipes!

This sounded so yummy I just had to make it! I added some sliced celery and mushrooms to the veggies and then deglazed the pan with a bit of red wine because I had it in the fridge. I could only find whole fennel seeds but they softened up with the slow, low cooking and were totally delish. Unfortunately it didn't all fit into my crockpot but I have a huge frying pan that worked and I ended up cooking it on top of the stove for over an hour. An excellent stew for these cold, grey, windy winter days. Thank you for sharing your recipes!! Maura in Charlotte, NC

Unbelievably easy and tasty. I made it for my family for dinner and even my kids couldn't eat it fast enough. My five year old twins requested it for part of their birthday dinner, where it was a total hit. Thanks so much for all the wonderful recipes. My husband, historically suspicious of "healthy" foods, has admitted that he feels better now that the meals I make are nearly always South Beach friendly. KUDOS!

Yes, that does sound like a good idea. I hope you get to enjoy the soup this time.

2010-02-20T08:49:29.802-07:00

For getting the sausage out of the casing, I find it easier just to slice the casing--not all the way through the sauasage and then just peel it off. It's not as messy as trying to squeeze it out. Just did that this morning in fact! Re-making Kalyn's Sausage and Zucchini soup. I asked my sister to make some for me earlier this week when she was watching my kids, but she mistook the cucumbers for the zucchini and then I ended up accidentally leaving it out on the counter all night. But I really want it so I'm making it again!

I have some sausage I got from my Vermont meat CSA in my freezer. This is a perfect way to use it! Thanks for the great recipe.
