Ingredients
Most of the ingredients for this recipe are easy to find and you may have most at home already:
- Italian Sausage- ground sausage will be the easiest to use for this recipe. If you cannot find it ground but only in links, simply remove the casings before cooking. Use whichever sausage is your favorite. We used pork sausage, however, chicken, beef or turkey sausage (or even a vegetarian substitute) will work for this recipe.
- Pasta- we used rotini, but any shape will work! Use whatever you have available. Gluten-free pasta will also work!
- Garlic- either fresh minced or the pre-minced will work!
- Olive Oil
- Carrots
- Sweet Onion
- Chicken broth or Beef Broth
- Tomato
- Spinach
- Italian seasoning, oregano, salt and pepper
How to make One Pot Italian Sausage and Pasta Soup
This soup is quick and easy to make. The first step is to prepare your produce. Chop your carrots, onion, garlic, tomato and spinach. Then, in a large pot heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Break it up as it cooks into smaller pieces.
Once the sausage is cooked, add the carrots, onion and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Next, pour in broth and seasoning, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and tomato. Cook until pasta is al dente. Add spinach and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat, season as desired with salt and pepper and serve!
Tips for Storage
In case you happen to have any soup leftover, I recommend storing this soup in the refrigerator. The pasta and sausage will not freeze well. This soup is great as leftovers though so don’t worry if you have a few servings leftover. This is also a great meal that can be made ahead of time. Be sure to finish within 5 days.
