Another reason I think this soup was such a hit this year is because of how flexible it is.

Like lasagna, it really can be customized to you and your familys liking.

Swap the pork sausage with chicken, turkey, or plant-based sausage, or use ground beef.

Lose the meat completely and replace it with sauteed mushrooms and wilted greens like baby spinach or kale.

Everyone can enjoy this twist on classic comfort food.
