This soup is very thick and creamy. Very good flavor that is different. At first looking at it I didn't think we would really like but it came out really good and everyone ate some!!! We enjoyed. Thanks -
Hearty soup for a winter's night, that's for sure. We don't have Italian sausage here so I crumbled up some thawed meatballs and threw in some mushrooms as well with a great result for a mid week meal.

This was certainly a unique soup. I used turkey italian sausage, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It hit the spot on such a could day My husband added hot pepper flakes to his for some spice. Topped with shredded cheese and fritos instead of croutons. -
I enjoyed this soup - very thick and flavorful. I made as directed, with suggested garnishes. The crunchy croutons on top of the soup were fabulous! Nice recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game 1/11/09. -
Very good soup with lot of good flavor. I like how nice and thick it is, too. I made it slightly differently: I used ground turkey cooked with Italian sausage seasonings instead of sausage (lower fat), and I chopped the veggies to make them bite-sized for my preshooler. I adjusted the cooking to suit the changes in ingredients, but otherwise made as directed. DH loved it; he ate 2 big bowls full. Thanks so much for posting, loof! Made for Photo Tag.
