Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Adds richness and helps in sautéing the onions.
  • 1 cup Onion Chopped or diced.
  • 1 pound Spicy Sausage Main protein source; use mild for less spice.
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes (with juice) Fire-roasted tomatoes for added depth.
  • 1 can Crushed Tomatoes Adds thickness and further flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Substitute fresh garlic in double amounts if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Choose black or white.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Blend of herbs for flavor.
For the Creamy Finish
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Mascarpone is an alternative.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Vegetable broth for vegetarian option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Skip for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated is best.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley For garnish; basil can be used.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent and softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add the spicy sausage, breaking it apart and cooking until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced and crushed tomatoes with juices, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add cream cheese and chicken broth, mixing until smooth.
  4. Seal the pot with its lid, set the vent to sealing, and cook on high for 5 minutes. Perform a quick release of the steam.
  5. Remove the lid and stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until smooth.
  6. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality sausage and adjust ingredients based on taste preferences. Store leftovers properly for future enjoyment.
