Creamy Italian Sausage Soup Recipe
- I used Italian sausage. It’s my favorite and gives this soup a great taste. However, you can substitute lower-fat ground turkey or chicken for the sausage. As well, I recommend adding another teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to accommodate for the flavors omitted from the sausage.
- Additionally, you can use any shape of pasta in this soup or you can use tortellini.
- Furthermore, heavy cream or half & half is THE BEST. However, if you’re looking to lower the fat content, you can mix
- You can add more vegetables if you prefer. Consider adding celery, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash.

This sounds most delicious! Would I be able to substitute for the heavy cream or half and half? Maybe milk with added cornstarch in place of heavy cream or half and half?
Paula says
Whole milk and butter or just whole milk. You’ll lose some of the creaminess and flavor.
Sarah says
What is the low fat mixture mentioned above?
Paula says
Substitute lower-fat ground turkey or chicken for the sausage.
Donna Rubinstein-Oliver says

I like the spicy.

Quick question…is it 14 oz cooked pasta or 14 oz uncooked pasta?
Paula says
It’s 14 ounces before you cook it. — But, you cook it before adding it to the soup.
Janet Bradley says
If I added diced potatoes to this would I have to pre-cook them first?
Thanks, Janet
Paula says
You could add them uncooked when you add the carrots and cook them then. Or you could parboil them and add them at the end.

Penny J McCracken says
How much flour should you use. I don’t see flour listed as an ingredient, but #3 says to add it. I’m guessing maybe a tablespoon or 2?
Paula says
Yes, 2 tablespoons. Thanks for alerting me to my error 😀
Laurinda says
