Simonato Soup / Simon Jepps

Here is another damn fine budget-friendly meal. Yes you read that right, Apple Sausages and Tomato Soup indeed ~ who'd have thought?

I agree, it sounds disgusting. Even I myself knew I was taking a gamble ~ but oh boy, what an absolutely DELICIOUS result!

You see, I thought to myself one day, if you can have Sausages and Baked Beans, Sausages and Bolognese, Sausages and Tomato Salad... Then why not Sausages and Tomato Soup?

So I did.

Ingredients

These items are for a single serving.

1+½ Apple Sausages
1 tin of Tomato Soup.
2 slices of bread, 1 buttered.
A grating of Cheddar Cheese.

I have pictured Heinz but honestly, Tesco Tomato Soup is near-on identical.

Step One

Melt half a tablespoon of Butter in the frying pan.
Start frying the 1+½ sausages in the pan.
Start heating the Soup on a low heat.
Prepare 2 slices of Bread, 1 buttered.
Prepare a grating of Cheddar Cheese.

Step Two

Whence the Sausages have started to harden all around, then chop them into small pieces. You should aim for 6 pieces per whole Sausage, so 3 from the half Sausage.

It is important to wait for them to harden first because it is very difficult to cut clean slices whilst they are still soft and oozing Apple.

Now turn up the heat on both pans and bring everything to full cookedness. Make sure you turn the Sausage pieces on their sides so their interiors cook and crispen.

Step Three

Tear up the slice of non-buttered Bread into many small pieces and put those pieces into the bowl.

Now pour the Tomato Soup and Sausage pieces also into the bowl and stir it all up nicely.

Finally... top the mix with a grating of Cheddar Cheese. I suggest a decent portion of Mature Cheddar, but this element I leave to your own taste.

Et Voila

That's it! This dish is best served with a nice Italian beer, Fruit Juice or Coca Cola... and that slice of Buttered Bread I told you about earlier.

Budget-wise I worked this out to cost about £1.50 per serving, depending how expensive your Soup, Sausage & Cheese selection is.

So, if you got all that right, you have Simonato Soup.

Buon appetito!

Thank you for reading.
