Make this hearty, soul-satisfying Italian Sausage Soup in one pot. It features savory sausage, tender potatoes, and a rich, creamy broth, perfect for a simple weeknight dinner.

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
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 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 and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook 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 canned tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
  5. Cover the pot and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This soup pairs well with crusty bread for dipping, a simple alternative to using **meal planning** services for dinner.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the cooked potatoes and mash them before stirring them back into the pot.
  • If you prefer a less rich soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable; consider adding a cup of kale or pre-cooked tortellini in the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  • If you are looking for quick, satisfying meals without the fuss of complex recipes, this one-pot dish is a great option, similar to what you might find from **best meal delivery services** but made at home.
