Make this hearty, creamy sausage potato soup on the stovetop. This one-pot recipe uses Italian sausage and tender potatoes for a comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through gently. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. If using, stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup is slightly thickened.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the cooked potatoes and mash them before stirring them back into the pot.
  • You can substitute beef sausage or pork sausage for Italian sausage if preferred.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
