Description

Velvety Italian Sausage Parmesan Soup is a rich and creamy soup that combines the flavors of Italian sausage, cheese, and greens.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the pot, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to blend with the other ingredients.
  6. Toss in the chopped kale or spinach, and let it wilt in the hot soup for a few minutes.
  7. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and the soup reaches a velvety consistency.
  9. Once the soup is heated through and creamy, remove it from the heat and prepare to serve.

Notes

  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread.
