Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz ditalini pasta
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add the ditalini pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, be sure to add the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream at the right time to achieve the perfect creamy texture. Adding the ditalini pasta towards the end ensures it stays al dente. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
