WOW!!! This soup is fantastic! I did use the links but discarded the casings from the sausage. Didn't change a thing! I must say I made it and my family loved it so made it a second time the next day. Thanks so much MizzNezz

This recipe is good! My toddler gobbled it up (excluding the sausage) but my two elementary grade children didn't find it yummy much :(. I personally found it too much for a skillet. Overall, I enjoyed eating it but will probably make it in a larger pan to avoid the mess next time.

Yum. :) I didn't have thyme so I used savory, and I didn't have just frozen peas so I used a bag of mixed veggies which added corn into the mixture. I also did not puree it as I don't have anything to do that with and it still tasted great. :) Will make again. ;)

A wonderful, hearty soup. My toddler gobbled it up and so did I! I made it easy on myself and used my hand pureer to puree half the pot of soup. I used a full cup of peas and a bit more salt, and lots of pepper. Next time I'll crumble the sausage out of the casings so it is more evenly distributed through the soup. Thank you!
