Not soup but, stew. The hearty stuff that you can probably eat with a fork but, you decide to use a spoon because…how else are you going to get all the good stuff on the bottom?

I heard a rumor that not everyone likes eggplant. That’s just a rumor right? Well, I guess you can tell what side of the fence I am on. This eggplant stew is so good.

The reason that eggplant gets a bad rap is because of the texture. But, the texture of eggplant is not inherent. When eggplant is prepared the right way, the results are simply delicious and delightful.

The recipe has Italian sausage cooked low and slow and then it can be topped with crispy Italian sausage at then end.

If texture is important to you, you’ll find that cutting the eggplant in smaller pieces results in eggplant that literally melts in your mouth.
