Creamy Parmesan Italian Sausage Ditalini Soup

• Add the ditalini pasta to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.

5. Add the cream and Parmesan:

• Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the soup is creamy and heated through.
• Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.

6. Serve:

• Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

• Vegetable variations: You can add more vegetables like spinach, kale, or zucchini for extra nutrition and flavor.
• Make it spicier: If you like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the onions and garlic.
• Make it lighter: For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the soup won’t be as rich.
• Make ahead: This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop, adding extra broth or cream if needed.
