Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
