Chef's Tips

For a creamier soup, you can blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before serving.

Adjust the amount of sausage to your liking. Smoked sausage adds a nice depth of flavor.

If you don't have marjoram, you can substitute with oregano.

To save time, pre-cut your vegetables ahead of time.
