BBQ Chicken and Sausage Soup

All veggies are preferential, put in whatever you like.(except the hot peppers!)

1 Orange pepper
1 Green pepper
2 Banana peppers
1 Jalepeno pepper
2 Carrots
3 Celery stalks
1/2 med. Red onion
2 Cloves of garlic
5 Vine tomatoes (rough chop)
2 C. Chicken Stock
2 C. Water
5 Strips bacon(diced)
2 Med. Spicy sausages(halved and sliced)
1 Large Chicken breast(small cube)
1 tsp. Chili powder
1 tsp. Cayenne
1/2 tsp Paprika

I used a medium to fine chop for this recipe. I prefer to do all chopping before hand, it makes for a quick soup once all prep is done! In a large pot fry bacon to crisp. remove to paper towel to drain, and in bacon fat, fry sausage, remove. Coat chicken in chili powder, cayenne and paprika, then fry chicken, and remove. Add all veggies (minus tomatoes) to remaining fat and fry until onion is clear. Add tomatoes, and stir until tomatoes begin to soften. Add stock, water, all cooked meat, and a little oregano, sage and pepper. Simmer at least half an hour, or until desired consistency. I served mine with cheesy garlic bread.
