For a vegetarian option, substitute the Italian sausage with plant-based sausage or mushrooms. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for extra nutrients and flavor. For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes after cooking.
