Sausage Potato Soup is a rich and comforting dish featuring Italian sausage, baby potatoes, and vegetables in a creamy, cheesy broth. Perfect for a cozy dinner!

Ingredients

Italian Sausage Potato Soup:

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, mild or hot
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2–1/4 cups mirepoix (or 3/4 cup each diced carrots, celery, and yellow onion)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups chopped baby gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups milk (1%, 2%, or whole)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups freshly shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Hearty buttered bread for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Sausage: In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the Italian sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Veggies: In the same pot, sauté mirepoix and garlic, then add potatoes, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Pour in chicken stock, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  4. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a separate pot, make a roux with butter and flour, then add milk and cream until thickened.
  5. Combine and Serve: Stir cream mixture into the pot with veggies, then add cheese, sour cream, and cooked sausage. Adjust seasoning and serve with bread.

Notes

  • Cut all veggies and potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Shred your own extra-sharp Cheddar for best melting results.
