Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian beef sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Italian sausage in large pot over medium heat, crumbling until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In same pot, sauté diced onions, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes until vegetables soften.
  3. Add minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in broth and bring to simmer, scraping bottom to release browned bits.
  5. Return cooked sausage to pot and stir to combine. Simmer 10-15 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in heavy cream, heating until warmed through but not boiling.
  7. Gradually mix in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  8. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  9. Simmer 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
  10. Remove from heat, ladle into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for smoothest melting. Pre-grated cheese can be grainy.
  • Don’t boil soup after adding cream to prevent curdling. Keep heat on low.
  • Hot or mild Italian sausage both work well depending on spice preference.
  • Add small pasta like ditalini or orzo during simmering stage for heartier soup.
