Description
A hearty Italian sausage and potato soup that brings comfort and warmth, perfect for chilly nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed, for sautéing)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, allowing the potatoes to cook until tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and chopped greens, allowing them to wilt and blend into the soup. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy each savory bite as flavors meld beautifully together.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet for a fluffier consistency. Consider adding carrots or celery for added sweetness.
