For a vegetarian option, substitute the Italian sausage with plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini, to the soup.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
