Crossword Genius

Soothed with sausage cooked by daughter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuaged

'soothed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sausage cooked by daughter' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'sausage' is an anagram of 'assuage'.
'assuage'+'d'='ASSUAGED'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for assuaged that I've seen before include "Soothed" , "mollified" , "Allayed, alleviated" , "Mitigated or relieved" , "Alleviated, pacified" .)
