Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil and the Italian sausage. Sautee for 5-7 minutes or until the sausage is no longer pink.

Notes

Store & Reheat

As a general rule of thumb, soup tends to store and reheat well because the broth helps it retain its flavor and quality. Just one more reason to love this recipe!

Store

Fridge: Transfer the dish to a large glass storage container with an airtight lid. Allow it to cool to room temperature before securing the lid (about 30-45 minutes; the exact time depends on the amount of meat). Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer: You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure there is enough broth to cover all of the ingredients - you may need to add some before freezing. Place the soup in the fridge to thaw overnight for best results.

Reheat

Microwave: Place soup in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes or until heated through. If reheating larger amounts, stir halfway through to warm it evenly.*

Stovetop: Place soup in a pot over medium-high heat. Once the soup is simmering, reduce to medium-low and cover for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Stir occasionally.*

Oven: Not recommended.

* Total time depends on the amount you are reheating.
