Nothing beats a warm, cozy bowl of sausage and zucchini soup on a busy weeknight. Loaded with savory sausage, tender zucchini, fresh cherry tomatoes, small pasta, and a sprinkle of Parmesan — simple, delicious, and made all in one pot.
Ingredients
- Ground sausage
- Sliced zucchini
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Italian seasoning
- Butter Garlic Salt seasoning
- Minced garlic
- Chicken broth
- Acini di pepe pasta (or any small pasta shape)
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Steps
- Set the Ninja PossibleCooker to sauté. Brown the ground sausage, breaking it up, until it’s cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and Butter Garlic Salt. Cook until fragrant.
- Add the sliced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté a couple of minutes so they start to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the acini di pepe (or any small pasta).
- Switch to simmer/cook and let it go until the pasta is tender and the zucchini is soft.
- Ladle into bowls and finish with grated Parmesan. Save this one for your next meal prep!
Linewife notes
- One pot win: Brown, simmer, and serve in the Ninja PossibleCooker so weeknight cleanup stays easy.
- Small pasta: Acini di pepe (or orzo, ditalini, or stars) cooks in the broth without taking over the bowl.
- Leftovers: The pasta keeps soaking up broth in the fridge. Add a splash of chicken broth when you reheat.
