  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream optional, for a creamier texture
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Ladle
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove the sausage and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add the Chicken Sausage and Cream: Return the browned chicken sausage to the pot and stir in the heavy cream (if using). Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your preference.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors!
