Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced finely
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7 minutes.
  2. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the pot.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  4. Add the carrots and celery, stirring well. Cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes and canned diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Stir in the cooked sausage and heavy cream. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.
