Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 pound halal Italian sausage Casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.
  2. Add the halal Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Toss in the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the onion is translucent.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, adding the diced potatoes and dried Italian herbs. Bring it to a gentle boil, then decrease heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and combines into the soup.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, generously garnishing with fresh parsley. Enjoy your culinary creation with a side of crusty bread!

Notes

Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the halal sausage for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option. To save time, chop your veggies ahead of time. Be careful when adding salt—always taste as you go since Parmesan can be quite salty.
