  • pound lean ground beef or turkey sausage ensure it's free from pork, bacon, or ham
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté Vegetables: Use the same pot to sauté the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer on low heat.
  • Simmer the Soup: Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth.
  • Taste and Adjust: Remove from heat and let the soup cool slightly before tasting and adjusting the seasoning if needed.
  • Serve: Spoon the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or red pepper flakes for a vibrant finish.

  • Top Tips for Perfecting Creamy Italian Parmesan Sausage Soup
  • Use Fresh Herbs: For an extra boost of flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
