We are all familiar with the beloved chicken noodle soup, so why not try some other variations? Creating a comforting bowl of sausage noodle soup is fun because you can choose from many different types of sausage from your local grocery store. You can find flavors like sun-dried tomato chicken sausage, to your tradition spicy Italian sausage. I love how you can use any type you’d like! In this recipe I used spicy Italian sausage for an extra kick, but like I said, feel free to use the sausage of your liking.
