Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Sausage and Rice Winter Soup.
Step 1
Begin by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil shimmers, toss in the minced garlic and chopped onion, allowing them to sauté for about three minutes until they become tender and release their delightful aroma.

Next, introduce the sliced Italian sausage to the pot, ensuring to brown it thoroughly on all sides for roughly five minutes, creating a savory base for your dish.

Pour in the chicken stock, then sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, and freshly chopped parsley.

Bring this fragrant mixture to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for one hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
After the hour has passed, stir in the uncooked white rice, continuing to simmer for an additional thirty minutes or until the rice reaches a tender perfection.
Step 7
To finish, incorporate the heavy cream, stirring until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 8
Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup rest for a moment, allowing the flavors to deepen before serving.
