Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 large, diced carrot
• 2 diced celery stalk
• 0.5 pounds ground Italian sausage
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 6 ounces (broken into 2-inch pieces) dried spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup, grated (optional, for garnish) Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the ground Italian sausage to the pot and cook it with the vegetables until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 6

Add the broken spaghetti pieces to the pot and stir well to avoid sticking. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10 minutes or until the spaghetti is cooked to al dente, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
