Creamy Italian Sausage Soup

I was introduced to this soup at our homeschool co-op and immediately asked for the recipe! It is so so good! Per usual for me, I have deviated from the original recipe, and I tend to not totally follow an exact recipe when cooking, but this recipe is as close as possible to what I do. This soup is yummy, cheesy, and such a comfort food on a cold day!

Notes

I don’t always follow measurements exactly. I tend to measure with my heart, and it’s ok if you do the same!
