Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled Fresh sausage recommended for best taste
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with a plant-based alternative for a vegetarian version
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives or parsley for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and broth; bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked Italian sausage and heavy cream.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth (optional).
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a simple salad. For extra flavor, add spices like thyme or rosemary while cooking. If you prefer a thicker soup, blend more of the potatoes until smooth. You can make a vegetarian version by skipping the sausage and using mushrooms for texture.
