💡Tips
1. Pick the Right Sausage
The Italian sausage is the heart of this soup, so choose one with visible fat marbling. You’ll notice this on the package – the meat should have small white specks throughout.
Avoid lean sausage varieties, as they won’t give you that rich, creamy texture we’re looking for.
Hot Italian sausage works great if you like some heat, but mild Italian sausage is perfect if you want to really taste the natural meat flavors.
2. Don’t Skip the Simmer
Those 10 minutes of simmering with the broth might seem long, but they’re really important for developing flavor.
During this time, all the tasty bits from the sausage mix with the broth, creating a richer base for your soup.
You’ll notice the broth starting to take on a slightly deeper color – that’s exactly what you want. Don’t rush this step by turning up the heat – a gentle simmer will give you the best results.
3. Master the Consistency
The final soup should coat the back of a spoon but still be fluid enough to flow easily. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce.
If it’s too thick, add more hot broth a little at a time while stirring. Remember that the soup will thicken slightly as it cools, so it’s better to err on the slightly thinner side while it’s still hot.

FAQ
What kind of pot should I use?
A heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven works best. These types of pots spread heat evenly and help prevent burning or sticking. The pot should be big enough to hold all ingredients with some room for stirring.
Can I make this in advance?
Yes! This soup actually tastes great the next day as the flavors have more time to blend together.
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Just remember to keep the bacon separate so it stays crispy.
