👉4 Helpful Tips:

↪️1. Brown the sausage well: Let the sausage get a nice golden color—it adds depth of flavor.

↪️2. Use homemade broth: If available, homemade broth gives the soup a richer and more natural taste.

↪️3. Add leafy greens at the end: Add spinach or kale during the last few minutes to keep their color and texture.

↪️4. Adjust spice levels: If your sausage is very spicy, reduce or skip extra paprika or try a milder sausage based on your preference.
