Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • This soup is delicious served with crusty bread for dipping.
