Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot

Ingredients
  

For the Soup

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil helps to sauté everything to perfection
  • 1 pound Italian sausage mild or spicy for flavor boost
  • 1 medium Onion, diced adds sweetness and depth
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced for fragrant kick
  • 4 cups Potatoes, peeled and diced russet or Yukon gold for heartiness
  • 4 cups Chicken broth creates a rich base

For Creaminess

  • 1 cup Heavy cream or half-and-half adds a luscious texture
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt enhances flavor
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper for seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon Thyme or Italian seasoning elevates flavors

For Extra Flavor

  • 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded optional for a cheesy finish
  • Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it browns for about 5–7 minutes.
  • Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Introduce minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Toss in diced potatoes, stir, and pour in chicken broth. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Check potatoes for doneness; they should be fork-tender. Continue simmering if necessary until tender.
  • Stir in heavy cream or half-and-half and cheddar cheese. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

Adjust the creaminess and seasoning to your preference, and don't forget to garnish for added flavor and color.
