Hearty Italian Sausage Pasta Soup
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
  • 5 ounces farfalle pasta
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over high heat to achieve a medium-high temperature. Sear Italian sausage and onion in the hot skillet until the sausage is nicely browned, breaking it apart into crumbly pieces and the onion becomes soft and translucent, taking around 8 minutes to accomplish this.
2
Introduce chicken broth, diced tomatoes, pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before lowering the heat and allowing it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and cooked through, which typically takes about 10 minutes.
3
Add ricotta cheese to the skillet and cook until it is fully incorporated into the pasta mixture, taking around 2-3 minutes to achieve this.
4
Divide the soup among four bowls. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons of melted mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of fresh basil leaves.
