Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 2 medium-sized Carrots
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Dice the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small, even pieces for a 'confetti' effect.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7–8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot along with the cooked sausage. Stir everything together.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a festive touch.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, holiday-inspired soup with your loved ones!
