Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup

This delicious Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup was a hit at my house last Sunday night, and I’ve saved the leftovers for lunch for me all week.  It hits the spot on a cold winter day!

I love having something easy to reheat for myself for lunch all week. I don’t mind eating the same thing, and think it helps me so much to have lunch planned ahead of time so I don’t end up staring into the cabinets and picking chips for lunch.

This soup is made up of a variety of vegetables and sweet Italian sausage. The sausage is filling and the vegetables so nutritious-the Parmesan though, is my favorite part and although it can be omitted, for me cheese is the savory topping I just love. Served with garlic bread or a crusty roll on the side makes this soup even hardier. A flourless side option I use is tortilla chips.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread.

I serve Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup with my garlic bread, but added some mozzarella cheese on top of the bread before cooking. This garlic bread is a huge hit at my house, and I make it so often I have the easy recipe memorized. My kids beg for it!

To crumble ground beef and sausage, or to smash avocados for guacamole, I use this meat chopper tool-I keep my kitchen tools at the bare minimum but LOVE this thing:

    I make a similar soup. Adding lots of carrots, too, is delicious.
