Italian Sausage Soup with Tomato broth

This soup recipe is easy to make and tastes better the next day.

It is made of Italian sausage, tomato puree, tomato paste, onion, garlic, carrot, green bell pepper, broth, red potatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano.

Creamy tomato potato soup without heavy cream.

I use Passata (aka tomato puree) and tomato paste (Mutti is a great brand for passata and tomato pastes are great... just 2 ingredients, less acid than the others!). I highly recommend it!

I often cook with tomato products and have tried almost all of them on the market. I'm constantly left disappointed as they're always so acidic.

I then have to tweak recipes because of the acid. Some products claim they don't use preservatives, but those don't taste good because the tomatoes are picked before they're ripe.

Mutti products are from Italy and go back over 100 years. They have less ingredients (usually two!) and are not the least bit acidic. The tomatoes are so fresh and perfectly ripe giving a smooth taste. Nothing needs to be added, I even use less seasoning. The low sodium shines through in the taste.

Kids enjoying pasta with mutti products,

My husband doesn't get heartburn with Mutti products, which is huge for us. We can taste the difference and feel better afterward, too.

While Mutti may be a relatively unknown brand in the US, Italians have relied on Mutti for over 120 years. In fact, this premium brand is the best selling tomato in Italy.

With life feeling a bit chaotic at times, I'm trying to make the most out of every family meal and I really believe that starts with using the best ingredients like Mutti tomatoes. Visit this link to learn more about Mutti.

This is a very tasty tomato potato soup.

Also, it's important to cook the tomato paste for a few minutes to allow its full flavor to develop.

Bring the soup to a boil then lower the heat. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
