- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Once the soup has simmered for 10 minutes, add the cooked chicken and cooked pasta to the pot. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the chicken noodle soup with sausage into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. If desired, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.
