Make this hearty, comforting Italian Sausage and Potato Soup in one pot for an easy weeknight dinner. It features savory sausage, tender potatoes, and a rich, creamy broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage (sweet or hot)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice).
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Heat through gently, but do not allow the soup to boil after adding the cream.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a slightly thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • If you are interested in meal planning for quick dinners, this soup is excellent for batch cooking.
  • You can substitute kale or spinach for the potatoes if you prefer a lower-carb option, following the low carb Italian soup style.
