For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the sausage in a separate pan before adding it to the saucepan.
A pinch of smoked paprika can enhance the smoky notes of the sausage.
If you prefer a thinner soup, adjust the amount of flour accordingly.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
