Italian Sausage, Red Pepper and Potato Crockpot Soup

This recipe was inspired by a similar one from my Pastor's wife, Sharon. Her recipe used bologna and she had brought it to our church potluck. I didn't have the chance to try it, but my daughter did and she was blown away by it.

The first time I made this, I only had two hours before dinner, so I did a little pre-cooking. The second time I made it I let the crockpot do all the cooking, so no pre-cooking needed. Both were delicious!

For the first time, I cut and boiled the sausage until it was fully cooked.

While the sausage was heating, I cut up the potatoes and pre-cooked them in the microwave for eight minutes. I placed everything together in the crock, including the liquid from the sausage, and cooked it for two hours on high.

If you want to slow cook it in the crockpot, cut the onions in small pieces and place them in the crockpot.

Remove the skins from several Italian sausages, cut them in chunks and place them directly into the crockpot.

 Cut up the peppers in small chunks and place them in the crockpot.

Peel and cut the potatoes in small chunks and add them in. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

Serve in a bowl. Delicious!!
