Meals from the Basket (Laura's Edition)

So I’m staring at my Bountiful Basket items and this soup sort of came to life as I went along.
Which is how I generally cook, anyway. =)

Ingredients:

• 50/50 ratio of organic ground beef (Costco) & bulk pork sausage (home grown or buy quality) equaling 1½ lbs.
• 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped small
• 1 onion, slice then quarter each slice
• 2 red peppers, chop small
• 2-3 squash, ½” slices and then quarter each slice
• Rosemary, dried or fresh
• Oregano, dried or fresh
• Basil (I had some from the freezer that I grew this summer)
• S & P to taste
• 1 can beef stock
• 1 quart canned pureed tomato (or 2 cans tomato sauce from the store)

Directions:
Brown ground beef and sausage; leave somewhat chunky.  Before it’s completely brown, add in garlic, onions and peppers until softened.  Add squash in last; don’t overcook.  Add rosemary, oregano, basil and S&P.  Deglaze pan with beef stock.  Finally add tomato sauce.  Simmer until all flavors are incorporated.  Enjoy!
