How to Make Sausage And Potato Soup

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  2. Drain off excess grease and set sausage aside.
  3. In a large stockpot, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the cooked sausage, 1 cup milk (or cream for extra richness), and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and soup is heated through. Do not boil.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
