Creating a warm and comforting bowl of Parmesan Sausage Soup is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown for about 5-7 minutes until it’s cooked through.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

3. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth along with the diced tomatoes (juice included). Stir to mix well.

4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

5. Incorporate Greens and Cream: After simmering, add the fresh spinach or kale to the soup. Next, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and combine.

6. Season to Taste: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or croutons on the side, if desired.
