- 1 (8-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage, mild or spicy
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 ounces uncooked small pasta* (I used small shells)
- 2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves, divided
- toppings: black pepper, freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage, onion, bell pepper. Sauté the mixture, using a wooden spoon to occasionally stir the mixture and break up the sausage as it cooks, until the sausage is browned. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, for 1 more minute.
Add the chicken stock, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Drain the rest of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, then roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to the soup. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Add the pasta and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, lowering the heat when needed so that the soup continues at a low simmer (not fully boiling) until the pasta is nearly al dente.
Add the cream, spinach, half of the basil and stir gently until the spinach has wilted. Give the soup a taste and season with salt and pepper and/or extra cream, if desired.
Serve. Serve immediately, garnished with your preferred toppings, and enjoy!
