Mushroom Sausage Soup Ingredients (& Swaps)
With it getting colder, that means it’s SOUP SEASON and this is EXACTLY what I wanted! I’m not kidding when I say – this Creamy Sausage & Mushroom soup is the BEST soup I’ve ever made. It’s got so many chunks of meat, veggies & pasta PLUS it’s creamy! Oh it’s so good – I’m making it again this weekend! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Italian Sausage – you could also use ground pork or ground beef – or spicy Italian sausage if you want more heat!
- Mushrooms – this is where I had fun – I got baby bella and the gourmet pack which had shiitake, cremini & oyster – SO MANY MUSHROOMS!!!
- Herbs & Spices – garlic, Italian seasoning, salt
- you could also individually add oregano, parsley & thyme
- Pasta – I had a bag of mini macaroni but again this is where you can use what you have – I just recommend using a smaller size of pasta so its about the same size as the sausage & mushrooms
- You could also swap this out with kidney beans for a more chili style soup
- You could also swap out with rice – I would just do one cup of uncooked rice – you might need another cup of liquid at the end
- Veggies – onions, tomatoes
- You could also add diced carrots, celery and bell pepper for more hidden veggies (+ flavor!)
- Liquids – chicken broth & heavy cream
- Cheese – cream cheese & Parmesan cheese
How to make Sausage Mushroom Soup
One thing I love about soups is it’s a one-pot meal! I live alone and it makes enough for a family of 4 to eat twice – so needless to say – my friends got big containers of it as well! Making it is so simple and it’s done in about 30 minutes!
- BROWN Italian sausage in a Dutch oven
- ADD onion, mushrooms and garlic and stir until softened
- ADD chicken broth, tomatoes, pasta, salt & Italian seasoning. Stir mixture, cover & bring to a boil.
- UNCOVER and simmer for 10-12 minutes until pasta is done.
- ADD cream cheese, heavy cream and parmesan. Stir and simmer 5 minutes.

This is the definition of comfort food. I absolutely loved it!
It was great, don’t wait. I’m highly disappointed. I wrote a lengthy, detailed, glowing comment only to have it wisked away somewhere into the internetasphere never to be seen again by human eyes. All because the site didn’t approve of the way I entered the website. I’m sorry I didn’t put “the” in front of “foodhussy” when I hit submit. It won’t happen again, and neither will the lengthy, detailed, glowing comment. 🙃
well sorry you didn’t get the whole fabulous comment…but so glad you loved the soup! it’s my new favorite!
