Tuscan Sausage and Chard Soup

½ pound bulk mild Italian sausage

½ onion, chopped

½ red bell pepper, chopped

6 cups water

1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped

2 cubes chicken bouillon (such as Knorr®)

1 teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and stir in the sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Stir onion and red bell pepper into sausage; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

Pour water into the pot; add Swiss chard, chicken bouillon, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; Simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle soup with Parmesan cheese before serving.
