Italian Chicken Sausage Noodle Soup
with Farfalle Pasta & Parmesan Toasts
- Wheat
- Soy
- Milk
This is chicken noodle soup the way your Italian grandma would’ve made it. Naturally, there’s a soul-soothing broth flavored with garlic and Italian herbs. And it’s got all the veggies to make you strong, like carrot, tomato, and spinach. Although that old-world charm really shines through in the farfalle pasta, chicken sausage, and sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. If you want to claim this one as a generations-old family recipe, we’ll keep it a secret.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and dice carrot into small pieces. Halve, peel, and finely chop onion. Dice tomato.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 4-6 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).
• Add another drizzle of olive oil to pot with sausage, then stir in carrot, onion, and a big pinch of salt. • Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are just softened and sausage is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
• Add tomato, half the Italian Seasoning (use the rest as you like), and ¼ tsp garlic powder (½ tsp for 4 servings) to pot. (You’ll use more garlic powder in the next step.) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in stock concentrates and 3½ cups warm water (6 cups for 4), scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot. • Add half the farfalle (all for 4). Cover and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Simmer until pasta is al dente, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 10 seconds (do not melt). • Stir in 1 TBSP Parmesan, ¼ tsp garlic powder (2 TBSP Parmesan and remaining garlic powder for 4), a pinch of salt, and chili flakes to taste. • Halve ciabatta and toast until golden. Spread butter mixture onto cut sides, then halve on a diagonal.
• Stir spinach into pot with soup until wilted. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. • Divide soup between bowls; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve with toasts on the side for dipping.
Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was very easy to do. The soup turned out perfectly. The flavor was amazing. The Chicken Sausage had a bit of spice to it but not too much. The garlic/parmesan toasts were so good.
Love, love, love this soup! I actually cooked it in the crock pot, for 4 hours on low, after cooking the chicken sausage first. I added the tomato, pasta, and spinach the last hour. So yummy! I considered changing out the faralle for a smaller pasta, but didn't.
This was so good! Any recipe made with Chicken sausage gets 4 stars so far. We love it. This soup was delicious and so flavorful. A new favorite for us.
My family and I absolutely LOVE this soup! Everything from the soup base to the Italian CHICKEN sausage to all the seasonings just make this soup SO perfect!!!
We had the meal for 2, so we only used half the pasta. The soup was too thin. It needed more bulk. Instructions should have told us to use all the pasta. And the chicken sausage was hard to brown because it stuck on the bottom of the pan so badly. (And we did use a non-stick pan.) More parmesan cheese should have been included. I had to do the spread for the toast twice since the butter completely melted on my first try.
The soup is really good, but the Parmesan toasts kind of stole the show - why are they so delicious?! I do wish that the kit would include the correct amount of pasta for 2 servings. My instructions were to use half the bag, which then leaves me with random leftover pasta.
The two serving recipe definitely makes four servings! Assuming that's the case - We found 2 big carrots would be good (with the rest of the recipe as-is). When adding in the water to the soup, use 5 total cups, and add all the farfalle. Recommend adding all cheese at end step of dish (instead of adding some in with spinach).
I LOVED the mixture of veggies and meat in this soup! Please offer this soup again with chicken sausage as an ingredient and perhaps a little more carrot.
Tasty and easy to make. The Italian chicken sausage was surprisingly spicy, but other than that it was a delicious meal.
Wow!!! Really love this soup!! This one is a keeper! The spinach was perfect with the chicken sausage. Highly recommend this one.
