π§βπ³ Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove excess grease if necessary.
2. Add Aromatics and Veggies
Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. SautΓ© for 4β5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions become translucent.
3. Add Broth and Simmer
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10β15 minutes until the veggies are tender.
4. Cook the Pasta
Add the pasta directly to the soup and cook according to package directions, usually about 8β10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesnβt stick to the bottom.
5. Make It Creamy
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently for another 3β5 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and serve hot with a side of crusty bread or garlic toast.
π‘ Tips & Variations
Spicy Twist: Use hot Italian sausage and add more red pepper flakes.
Lighter Option: Substitute half-and-half or evaporated milk for the heavy cream.
Extra Veggies: Add spinach, kale, or zucchini for more color and nutrition.
Cheesy Upgrade: Stir in shredded mozzarella or provolone for an ultra-creamy finish.
