Weeknight Sausage Potato Soup Recipes

SAUSAGE POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the Sausage: Remove the casings from the sausage if you purchased links. Preheat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook and crumble to break it apart. Once cooked halfway through, cover partially and continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. It'll take around 10-12 minutes total. Set the sausage aside and reserve 1 tablespoon drippings. (Butter can be used if you don't have drippings.)
• Add the drippings to the pot along with 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth in splashes, and use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom of the pot to add more flavor the soup. Slowly stir in the heavy cream, hot sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Clean the potatoes and pat them dry. Cut into 1-inch cubes and add them to the soup. Simmer uncovered for about 40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Add the sausage back and stir to combine.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese (if desired).
• Garnish with red pepper flakes and parsley. Serve!

EASY SAUSAGE POTATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon until crispy; about 10 minutes.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring every few minutes until they begin to soften; 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper. Cook, while stirring the garlic and spices around the pan, for about 1 minute.
• Add the bay leaf, thyme, and potatoes. Pour in the stock. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the broth just reaches a simmer, but before it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot with a lid, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through; about 15 minutes. While the soup cooks, stir every once and a while. If the soup begins to simmer more aggressively, turn down the heat a bit.
• Uncover the soup and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Stir in the cream, kale, and parmesan cheese. Add a small pinch of nutmeg, and then taste the soup for seasoning. Adjust with more salt and pepper, as needed.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid and cook until the kale is wilted and soft; about 5 minutes more.

SLOW-COOKER CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, cauliflower, beans, onion, garlic, vegetable stock, butter, wine, thyme, garlic powder and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 hours on low.
• Remove and discard the thyme sprig, and turn off the slow cooker. Add the lemon juice. To make a completely smooth and creamy soup, purée the ingredients using an immersion blender. (Or, purée the soup in a blender in two batches, transferring the puréed soup to a different pot.) To make a textured, chunky soup, smash the ingredients using a potato masher in the slow cooker. Stir in the sour cream and chives. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with black pepper, crushed potato chips and shredded Cheddar. For leftovers, gently reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave until it just barely bubbles around the edges; don't let it boil or the sour cream will break.
