Notes, tips, and variations

  • Calorie content may vary depending on the specific ingredients you use; 80 kcal is reasonable.
  • The spicy sausage will impart more subtle flavor to the soup, making further spicing unnecessary. Using different types of sausage will vastly change the character of the soup.
  • This recipe may require salt if you use homemade chicken stock. Bouillon cubes tend to be heavily salted already.
