Creamy Sausage Potato Soup
This recipe makes a hearty, comforting soup perfect for families. I refined the creaminess carefully so the soup stayed rich without feeling heavy.
Equipment
- large pot
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey sausage sliced or crumbled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add turkey sausage and cook until lightly browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the cooked sausage and cream.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, adjust the seasoning as needed, and serve the soup hot. Garnish with parsley if you are using it.
Notes
This soup is filling and comforting. You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a slightly lighter texture.
