Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup ditalini pasta (uncooked)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the ditalini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cooked sausage, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side!
Tips for the Perfect Soup
- Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer for a few extra minutes.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
