Print Recipe

A one-pot creamy sausage soup that’s quick to make and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes
  • 8 oz ditalini pasta
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil (or parsley for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat a large pot over medium heat and cook the Italian sausage until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Combine the Base: Pour in the chicken broth and petite diced tomatoes; bring to a simmer. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the Creamy Goodness: Add ditalini pasta and cook for about 10 minutes until tender. Lower heat and stir in cream cheese and grated Parmesan until melted and creamy.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and enjoy with crusty bread or a side salad.

Notes

For a lighter option, use turkey sausage or a vegetarian base with vegetable broth. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
