Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or breakfast sausage)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread or side salad for serving

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and broth, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked sausage, heavy cream, and cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.

Notes

For an extra nutritional punch, add spinach or kale. Adjust spices to taste and don't skip toasting the garlic. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
