Tips & Notes

  • Add 4 oz. of cream cheese to make this soup a little cheesier.
  • Spice up the soup by adding 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper or using hot Italian sausage.
  • Make this soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth and omitting the Italian sausage. If omitting the meat, 1 15-oz. can of garbanzo beans or northern beans would be a wonderful addition.
