Italian Sausage:
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
Sautéed Vegetables:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Soup Base:
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup ditalini pasta
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Creamy Finish:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- Sauté the Sausage and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until browned.

- Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in chicken broth and add drained diced tomatoes. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, add the ditalini pasta. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
