Notes
Expert Tips
- To save time, use a vegetable chopper to cut the onion, carrots, and celery!
- For best results, I suggest cooking soup in a Dutch Oven. (Any large pot will work!)
- Serve with a slice of toasted gluten-free bread, homemade croutons, or a side salad.
- If you add gluten-free pasta, make sure you cook it separately! Serve a scoop of pasta with each bowl of soup to prevent it from getting soggy.
- After making this recipe a few times, I decided that I enjoy it more when the sausage slices are thinner and cut into a half-moon shape. If they're too big, they take over the flavor of each bite of food.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftover Chicken Sausage Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also transfer half of the soup into a freezer safe container. I suggest using Souper Cubes 2 cup silicone freezer trays to store single servings in the freezer for a rainy day! Freeze up to 3 months! ** See full post for more information and step by step photos!Nutrition
