Potato Sausage Soup
When the days are cold, warm up with a bowl of Potato Sausage Soup. It is easy to make and can be on the table in about 30 minutes, ensuring you’ll not be cold for long!
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 2½ pounds russet potatoes, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- Chicken broth (about a quart)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2½ cups whole milk
- ½ pound hot Italian sausages, removed from the casing if using links
- Salt & pepper to season
- Baby spinach
Method:
Cook the potatoes and garlic in enough chicken broth to mostly cover the potatoes, up to a quart. If necessary, add more throughout the cooking process to keep them from sticking to the pot.
In a separate skillet on medium to medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces. Be sure to brown it thoroughly so you have some crispy bits.
When the potatoes are soft, use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash some of the potatoes, leaving a few chunks.
Add the cream and milk.
Add the browned sausage to the potatoes and cream mixture, season with salt and pepper. Be sure to taste! Heat on medium low heat till warm.
Add a handful or two of spinach leaves just before serving. The heat of the soup will cook them adequately.
Serve with a hearty, crusty bread.
Bon Appétit!
