COZY RUSTIC FARROW SAUSAGE SOUP

Inspired by a soup recipe my Aunt Meg makes, this dish is perfect for fall and winter nights when you want a healthy soup that's also hearty and full of flavor. Bonus that the leftovers are even more delicious the next day!
Serves 6

YOU'LL NEED:

  • 1-2 pounds pork sausage (sweet Italian is a good option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds our chopped
  • 4 celery stocks, chopped
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1-1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup farrow
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream*

HERE'S HOW:

  • In a large pot, brown sausage. When cooked through, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 10 minutes until veggies have softened.
  • Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, seasoning, and farro and cook for another minute. Stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add parmesan and cream and stir until well combined. Ladle into bowls, top with extra parmesan, and serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese!

Notes

*This soup is equally as delicious without the cream if you want to skip, however I find the kids like the creamier version better.
