CREAMY PARMESAN ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP 🧀🍲
A rich and creamy soup made with Italian sausage, Parmesan cheese, and tender vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients:
1 lb Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
Add the cooked sausage back into the pot and stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
