Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
In the same pot, add a drizzle of olive oil and the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Then, stir in the dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ditalini pasta. Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Return the cooked Italian sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it’s melted and fully incorporated into the soup.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or Parmesan to suit your preferences.
