Notes
For an extra kick, use hot Italian sausage instead of spicy sausage. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition. Adjust the amount of broth depending on how thick or soupy you like your dish. If you like a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of chicken or vegetable broth. Consider making a vegetarian version by omitting the sausage and adding lentils or beans for protein.
