Description

A hearty, comforting Italian Sausage and Potato Soup made in one pot with rich cream, tender potatoes, and flavorful sausage. Perfect for chilly nights or a cozy family meal.


Ingredients

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)

4 cups diced potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or red)

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups kale or spinach, chopped

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and kale or spinach. Simmer for a few more minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
  5. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Serve hot with crusty bread or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version.
  • Try sweet potatoes or cauliflower instead of regular potatoes.
  • Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan for added richness.
  • Cool completely before storing in airtight containers. Refrigerate for 3–4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
