Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1.5 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage. Break the sausage apart with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes and undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Heat through gently for 2 to 3 minutes, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • You can substitute kale or spinach for the carrots and celery for a different vegetable profile.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
