Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a good weekend. With the cold weather upon us, I wanted to share a delicious soup I made recently. Whenever the weather starts to get colder, I always crave soup! The inspiration for this soup comes from, Damn Delicious who is a food blogger on Pinterest. Instead of mini meatballs, I used sausage. This Italian Sausage Soup is nothing short of flavor! From the sausage, kale, pasta, and fresh herbs, it’s the perfect fall soup. If you are looking to make a new soup, definitely give this a try! It has become my new favorite comfort soup! Have a great week!

Italian Sausage Soup

Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 sweet onion diced

1-2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste

6 cups chicken stock, adjust accordingly

1 can tomato sauce

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1 lb cooked sausage

3/4 cup ditalini pasta (feel free to use another smaller pasta)

1 bunch of kale, stems removed and chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in onions, garlic and Italian seasoning. If you don’t have any Italian seasoning, any all-purpose seasoning works well too. Stir the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper. To the soup pot, add in chicken stock, tomato sauce, cheese, and sausage. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer covered, about 10 mins. Add in ditalini pasta or any other type of pasta you are using. Cook until pasta is done. Stir in kale until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add in fresh basil and parsley and stir. Adjust seasonings accordingly. Serve in a soup bowl and enjoy!
