Sausage Soup
Description
This Sausage Soup begins with cooking diced onions until softened, followed by garlic to build a flavorful base. Italian sausage is browned until fully cooked and broken into small pieces, contributing a savory and mildly spiced character. Tomato paste and diced tomatoes combine to create a thick, tangy tomato foundation enhanced by Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cream cheese is stirred in to add creaminess and body, complemented by chicken broth and heavy cream. Parmesan cheese is incorporated to deepen the savory profile and provide a pleasant umami note. The soup is simmered gently to marry the flavors and thicken slightly.
The finished soup has a smooth, luscious texture with hearty chunks of sausage and a balanced blend of tomato acidity and creamy richness. It makes a filling and flavorful option for colder days or as a comforting meal component.
