Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 can Diced tomatoes 28 ounce, undrained
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 can Tomato paste 6 ounce
  • 1/2 cup Elbow macaroni
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
For Serving
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil chopped

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes (undrained) and chicken broth. Stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions, or until al dente.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or celery with the onions.
