It’s finished with fresh spinach, pasta, and a sprinkle of parm! It’s a “set-it-and-forget-it” soup recipe for the stove or the slow cooker. Got a crowd coming over? Serve with some fresh Homemade Garlic Bread and a side salad!
A Fave Flavorful Soup
This soup is a “one-pot wonder” so there is less mess and less clean-up. You can add any veggie you’d like into this recipe (and swap up the pasta with orzo or any shape you love)! Use hot or mild sausage to your liking (or even meatballs if you’d prefer). This soup reheats well making it great for lunches. Freeze in individual portions (before adding pasta) to keep it even longer.
Ingredients
Italian Sausage Use either mild, sweet, or spicy Italian sausage in this soup. No Italian sausage? No problem, use ground pork, chicken, or beef with the same spices we use in our homemade Italian sausage. BROTH We use chicken broth in this soup but beef broth works just as well. VEGETABLES Loads of different kinds of veggies like tomatoes, garlic, zucchini, and onion make this soup filling with lots of nutrients, too. Add whatever is in your fridge! FLAVORS Add a delicious blend of Italian Seasoning or use your own special blend of favorite spices! We also add Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley as a garnish!
Variations
Feel free to switch up the ingredients with leftovers like adding chicken in place of the sausage, or kale instead of the spinach. White beans can be replaced with lentils or garbanzos, long grain rice, and a liberal dose of cheese. Diced potatoes are a good substitute for pasta as well! Add a can of condensed creamy tomato soup for extra-rich broth.
How to Make Italian Sausage Soup
Veggies and sausage with pasta tastes amazing and it’s so easy to make this classic soup! Cook the pasta al dente (firm) in a separate pot and add it to individual bowls or to the pot. This keeps the pasta from getting mushy as it sits, if you have leftovers, or if you’d like to freeze it.
Slow Cooker Method:
Leftovers
If you plan for leftovers or to freeze this soup, keep the pasta separate and cook fresh pasta for serving.
Keep Italian sausage soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or reheat the whole pot on the stovetop. Freeze in zippered bags with the date written on the outside.
