Instructions

- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your dish warm.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or omit it entirely, and add more vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage like Italian or chorizo for a unique flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a splash of apple cider vinegar for added richness and tang.
