Yum! I made this with Trader Joe’s sweet Italian sausage. I used chicken and vegetable broth. I definitely will make this again!

This soup is so good and hits the spot on a cold winter day. I wouldn’t change anything to this recipe except to only use half a box of noodles if you want it to be more of soup otherwise it’s mainly a bowl of noodles.

So delicious! The flavors were so tasty and robust. I would DEFINITELY make the noodles separately and add them in to individual bowls, they expand way too much and end up taking over the soup if you make it and leave them in with everything else. You'll definitely have leftovers with this one!
