A hearty and comforting soup loaded with tender potatoes, savory sausage, and a luscious creamy base, perfect for chilly autumn evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound sausage (spicy Italian, smoked, or breakfast sausage)
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thin
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes, slice the carrots and celery, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and shred the cheese.
  2. In a large pot, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  3. Add the butter to the pot. Once melted, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir well to coat, creating a roux to thicken the soup.
  6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  7. Add the diced potatoes and cooked sausage to the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese until melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes directly in the pot. Use freshly grated cheese for better melting. Adjust seasoning as you cook for the perfect flavor.
