Description
Creamy Parmesan Italian Sausage Soup: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: Crusty bread for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
- Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to mix thoroughly without boiling.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the spinach to wilt and the cheese to melt into the soup.
- Let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, ensuring all flavors meld together beautifully.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the cream.
