What You Will ❤️ About Spicy Sausage Soup

The #1 thing I love about this soup is how healthy it is! Here’s a taste of the benefits:

  • Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and other natural acids that help your liver break down fat faster.
  • Beans can stabilize blood sugar which reduces the amount of fat storage hormones our bodies make.
  • Onions are loaded with chromium,  which also helps with fat storage hormones.
  • Garlic might actually keep pre-fat cells turning into fat cells.
  • Mushrooms provide protein, vitamin C and iron.
  • Bell peppers contain  beta-carotene, which gives you antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits

Sausage Soup Ingredients

This is a very healthy soup – and you’ll notice – there’s no salt! Sausage has salt and so does the V8 juice so you really don’t need any additional salt! If you’d like more veggies – add them. Kale would be a great addition to this soup and packs a ton of nutrients as would diced celery.

  • Hot Pork sausage – you can use regular if you don’t like it spicy or you can use hot Italian sausage
    • Feel free to add red pepper flakes if you don’t have spicy – or if you want it spicier!
  • Diced Onion
  • Diced Bell Pepper
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • Diced Carrots
  • Minced Garlic – or fresh cloves garlic
  • Canned diced tomatoes
  • Canned black beans
  • V8 juice – you could substitute with beef broth or chicken broth if you like but the V8 has so much flavor – be sure to us some! Feel free to use low sodium if you’d like.
  • Cumin – I just used cumin but other seasonings that would good would be dried oregano and basil
  • Cooked Ditalini Pasta – this is a small pasta with holes in it and it’s my favorite for soups but you could also use macaroni

How to make Spicy Sausage Soup

You’ve got a little prep time to dice the veggies and cook your pasta – but then – it’s a one-pot stovetop meal with a total time of under 30 minutes!!! Here’s how we make this sausage soup:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch Oven, over medium-high heat, brown pork sausage with a wooden spoon. You can add a little olive oil but the sausage has fat and you don’t need to.
  2. Add in onion, garlic, pepper, mushrooms and carrots and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
  4. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

How do you store and reheat leftover sausage soup?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes. 

What if my soup is a little dry the next day?

Buy extra V8 juice and add it in before you reheat! It’s got so much flavor in it and makes it juicy again!

Should I cook the pasta in the soup?

Nope – Cook your pasta separately and add it in right before you serve. This will prevent it from soaking up all the liquids. If you made a big batch and know you’ll have leftovers – store the soup separate from the pasta and add before serving leftovers.

Can I use turkey sausage?

Yes! I like to use pork sausage as it packs the most flavor – but turkey sausage works just fine!
