This recipe makes a big batch. So I often divide leftovers into a few containers for "freezer meals".

I really liked this recipe. I did make a few changes though. I cut it in half. (even then it made a lot probably enough for 6+ people) I also added some more veggies: carrots and celery with the onion and some summer squash when I added the sausage back in. I don't think I used quite the amount of liquid the recipe calls for, but I like my soups a little more chunky! I would recommend this! And like the original recipe says you could make the full batch and freeze some or share with friends!
