Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Warm gently for about 2 minutes.
  7. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully incorporated.
  8. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste, and let it simmer for another minute.
  9. Let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
