recipe: italian sausage wild rice and vegetable soup

December 15th, 2011 - by

I love when a good soup just comes together with ingredients you have in your fridge!  I had a few vegetables that I needed to use up this week, and I threw just about everything in the pot!

I love the taste of Italian sausage in soup.  Italian sausage has all sorts of amazing spices inside, so when it is browned and put into the soup, it adds a great flavor!  I decided to throw in some wild rice in the end, and it really made it a nice hearty soup!   Something you could easily eat for dinner with some nice crusty bread!

Destination #9 Germany: German Sausage and Potato Soup

December 12th, 2011 - by

 

When we set out to create our new German Sausage & Potato recipe, we envisioned a creamy soup rich with texture & the perfect balance of spice.

The simple yet satisfying flavor of the potato is the star ingredient of this recipe complimented by spicy sausage and scattered with petite peas.

It’s a rare occasion that we get the recipe just right the first couple of rounds of testing, but it did not take long for us to fall in love with this recipe.  Our German Sausage & Potato has everything you could want in a winter soup.

We’re nearing the end of the World Tour. Make sure to collect your new stamp for a chance to win the Grand Prize trip to New York City and other great gifts! Click here to read more about the World Tour.

Don’t forget to VOTE for your favorite World Tour soup and bring it back!

Après-ski…Photo Contest!

November 15th, 2011 - by

(French: after skiing) refers to going out, having food, drinks, dancing, and generally socializing after skiing.

Now that the snow has begun to fall and the resorts are opening, we’ve been excited as ever to shred the fresh Utah pow. Last Thursday on opening day, locals at Brighton showed off some sweet tricks at the terrain park, and the Solitude fanatics hit the smooth slopes nearby. This weekend, Alta and Snowbird are also opening so you will have even more terrain to choose from.

We’re often a bit tired and chilly after a long day on the slopes, so we’re big fans of the warm soups at the Cottonwood Zupas. If you need to warm up, come on by! Visit us at 6550 South 3000 East in Cottonwood Heights. Click here to see the Google map.

In honor of all the resort openings, we’re offering some chances to win gift cards and other prizes. Just send your best Après-ski pic (from anywhere) to: contests@cafezupas.com with a short description by Sunday, Nov. 20. Our favorites may appear on the site, and you may even receive a treat from us. Snap away!
