Our recipe for Instant Pot Tuscan Bean and Sausage Soup is reminiscent of Italian wedding soup but is even easier since you're adding chicken sausage instead of making meatballs. Cannellini beans and kale give it extra goodness while Swanson Chicken Broth, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning give this soup fabulous flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 pounds Italian-style chicken sausage , casings removed
- 1.5 cups diced onion

- 1 carton Swanson® Chicken Broth , 32 ounce
- 3 cups finely chopped kale leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Merwin's Shrimp Gumbo
This is a recipe for a classic, dark brown, shrimp gumbo in true Louisiana Cajun country fashion. Serve over rice. Browning the chicken pieces in the oil used for the roux adds flavor to the dish. I use the cooked chicken for chicken salad. File is added off the heat to thicken the gumbo. If added while the gumbo is still cooking, it may become stringy and unpleasant. File is ground sassafras leaves. It is available in many supermarkets.
Poop Emoji Cookies
Since my daughter is obsessed with emojis and especially the poop emoji, for her birthday this year I made these poop emoji cookies as a treat to share with her class. Needless to say, they were a huge hit! They are based on a German cookie recipe and are different than American cookies — pretty dry and not very sweet as in Germany cookies are always eaten with tea or coffee. I'll be making them again as Halloween cookies.
