Mix in a tablespoon of flour or corn-starch and a cup of evaporated skim milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook one more minute. When using canned chicken or beef broth, tomato juice, tomato sauce or paste or canned tomatoes, try purchasing the low-salt version to cut back on the sodium. You can always add salt, but you can't take it back out.
Pork sausage is a favorite of everyone, but the fat content is outrageous.
Try making your own. Now while you can't totally eliminate fat, use a good pork shoulder and cut back on the amount of fat the recipe calls for. Then with your own seasonings, you have a healthier version of this grand breakfast treat. See my cookbook for a simple recipe. You can sweeten it with a sugar substitute.
