Super Easy Italian Sausageartichoke Soup Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Break sausage into chunks into pot.
• Let brown on bottom about 3 minutes, then turn and break up sausage and cook until no longer pink. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate, leave rendered fat in pot over medium-high heat.
• You should have about 1 Tbsp fat in pot, if needed add a little more olive oil or drain off some excess fat if there's too much.
• Add onions, carrots, celery and bell pepper and saute until starting to soften, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
• Pour in broth, tomato sauce, tomatoes, and add Italian seasoning. Return sausage to pot and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste (you shouldn't need much salt).
• Bring to a simmer then cover, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer 5 - 10 minutes until veggies are almost soft.
• Add orzo. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally (while scraping along bottom of pot as orzo will tend to stick). Cook until nearly al dente. About 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in some ice (1/2 cup or so) if you want to help stop the orzo from cooking and getting mushy. Stir in fresh parsley and basil.
• Serve warm, topping servings with grated parmesan if desired.

SIMPLE ARTICHOKE SOUP ITALIAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, 2 cups of the stock (reserve 1 cup), herbs, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in batches*, puree the soup. Add more of the stock as you blend the vegetables. Keep blending and use remaining stock.
• At this point you can blend until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a little chunky to taste piece of artichoke. You can keep blending until it is more smooth if you desire.
• Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, a few springs of parsley, and toasted bread.
