Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into half moons

1 (20 ounce) package shredded hash brown potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes®)

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 stalk celery (diced (about 1/3 cup))
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 medium cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (sliced)
1 pound red potatoes (sliced)
1/2 bunch kale (cut into ribbons (about 4 cups))
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Additional salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage links or chicken sausage links (sliced)

Steps:

  • Add olive oil to a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and fennel seed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt, and thyme, and cook, stirring, for another minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth and potatoes. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale and the heavy whipping cream and let simmer, uncovered, for another 10 minutes until the kale is tender. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Meanwhile, if adding sausage to half, set a medium pot over medium heat. Splash with a touch of olive oil and brown the sausage. Once the sausage has browned, transfer 3 cups of the soup to the pot with the sausage. Stir gently and simmer for another minute or two.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • For a thicker soup, use less broth or add more potatoes.
  • To make the soup creamier, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
  • For a spicier soup, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • To add more flavor, use a variety of sausages, such as Italian sausage, kielbasa, or chorizo.
  • For a vegetarian version of the soup, omit the sausage and add more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
  • Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy potato sausage soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
