Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup small pasta (ditalini or elbow)
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, until it’s browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth
Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Cook the Pasta
Add the ditalini or elbow pasta to the boiling broth mixture. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until al dente.
5. Make it Creamy
Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted, and the soup thickens slightly.
6. Combine and Season
Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy! For an extra touch, serve with crusty bread or a side salad.
