Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat, tilting the pot occasionally for even coating, until fragrant.

  3. Crumble in ground Italian sausage and cook until browned (about 6-8 minutes).
  4. Pour in chicken bone broth and fire-roasted tomatoes, stirring well, then add cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth (about 3-5 minutes).
