This pumpkin sausage soup is described as a favorite fall meal prep or Sunday football staple, perfect for cooler weather. It features sweet Italian sausage, potatoes, bell peppers, pumpkin, and kale in a flavorful broth.
Cook your sausage fully. Add in your diced potato, pepper, and onion and cook down for 5-10 minutes. Add in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and tomato paste. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Add in pumpkin puree, broth, and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Cook until veggies are completely softened and add in your optional heavy cream and kale to wilt.
