Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1½ cups uncooked small pasta (ditalini or elbow)

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Grated Parmesan and fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Brown sausage in a large pot. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

  • Stir in tomatoes, broth, seasoning, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.

  • Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes.

  • Return sausage to the pot. Simmer 2–3 minutes more.

  • Stir in greens if using, and let wilt. Adjust seasoning.

  • Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan and parsley.

Notes

For a creamier soup, stir in ½ cup heavy cream at the end. Cook pasta separately if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
