Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped fresh parsley, croutons

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes, ditalini pasta, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked.
  5. Stir in the Cream and Parmesan: Add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to add extra vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. You can also swap out the Italian sausage for ground chicken or turkey.
