Skillet Sausage Soup

A One Pot Wonder That Simmers Up In Under An Hour

Everyone loves a warm soup on a cold day. This Skillet Sausage Soup is a soup you can make on a busy day that takes around one hour to make.

The flavorful Italian sausage along with onions, marinara, chickpeas, pasta, and peas adds depth of flavor with very little cook time. This soup will warm you from the inside out.

Sausage and Onions Do The Trick

This skillet soup has very few ingredients. The Italian sausage and onions being the main source of flavor. You do not need a lot of seasonings in this soup because the sausage has lots of seasoning and herbs.

You remove the sausage from the casing so that the sausage is able to caramelize and add even more depth of flavor to this soup. This step reminds me of the sausage step in my recipe for the Best Vodka Sauce.

Use Bouillon To Your Advantage

I love using the Better Than Bouillon brand products for lots of recipes. They give soups and sauces so much flavor with very little cook time.

This is not sponsored post or an ad, I just really love these products. The chicken version I use in this soup recipe adds so much flavor it is as if you cooked this soup all day instead of for like an hour.

I use their lobster brand for making this delicious Poor Man’s Lobster Pasta, which is one of our favorite recipes. I also use it to make this Chicken in Lobster Sauce!

Paprika For Peppers

I use paprika in this recipe to add the flavor of red peppers without having to clean and cut up an actual red peppers This is one of those spices that you should measure with your heart.

The amount I use may be too much for you. Start with a little, taste, and add more if needed.
