A comforting and easy sausage potato soup, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a chilly evening. This one-pot meal is simple to make and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup diced carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sliced sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.
  2. Add olive oil to the pot if needed. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Add the diced potatoes, diced carrots, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir in the milk or half-and-half and heat through gently, but do not boil.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a creamier soup, you can blend about 1 cup of the soup before adding the milk.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
  • This soup can be made ahead and reheated.
