A comforting, creamy soup with hearty sausage and tender ditalini pasta, perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

  • Ditalini pasta
  • Ground sausage (mild or spicy, Italian sausage recommended)
  • Chicken broth
  • Heavy cream
  • Onion, diced
  • Garlic, minced
  • Carrots, peeled and diced
  • Celery, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the ground sausage to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the spices bloom for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. In a separate pot, cook the ditalini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir the heavy cream into the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add the cooked ditalini pasta to the pot and stir well to combine. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

[‘Cook the ditalini separately to prevent it from becoming mushy.’, ‘Grate fresh Parmesan for better flavor and texture.’, ‘Simmering the soup allows the herbs and sausage to infuse the broth with maximum flavor.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.’, ‘Use quality sausage for bold seasoning.’]
