Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the sausage from its casing (if applicable) and brown it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Peel and dice the potatoes, dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots, and slice the celery stalks. Mince the garlic as well.
In a 6-quart crock pot, add the browned sausage, diced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic.
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients. Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream. Let it heat through while the soup continues cooking on low.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crusty bread or your favorite crackers.
