Flavorful hearty soup with Parmesan cheese, Italian sausage, and creamy broth. Easy one-pot meal ready in 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounces) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounces ditalini pasta
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Place the sausage in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Brown and crumble the sausage until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until onion softens.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the petite diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and pasta. Make sure the pasta is covered by the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 8 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
  5. Turn the heat down to medium. Stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cook another 5 minutes or until the cream cheese melts completely.
  6. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh chopped basil.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese and cut into cubes so it melts faster without clumping.
  • Cook pasta until al dente as it will continue cooking with cream cheese added.
  • If you prefer thinner soup, add a splash of heavy cream or chicken broth after adding cheese.
  • Use mild breakfast sausage, spicy Italian sausage, or ground beef as alternatives.
