This soup is very filling and delicious. It is a creamy potato soup with cheese and sausage, plus some vegetables. When making this soup you can use any type of precooked rope sausage. My family and I love smoked turkey sausage so that is what I used.
Potato White Cheddar Sausage Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 64 ounces low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese
- 2- 14 ounce packages of smoked sausage, diced
- black pepper, to taste
- sour cream
Garnish
Directions:
- In a large stock pot, over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add in the diced carrots, celery and onion. Sauté until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add in the bay leaf and dried thyme. Add in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Partially cover the pot with a lid and cook until the potatoes are tender, but not falling apart.
- Remove the bay leaf.
- In a large glass measuring cup whisk together the half and half and flour. After the potatoes have softened slowly pour in the half and half mixture while stirring. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- With an immersion blender, blend up about half of the soup or transfer half of the soup to a blender to blend and then pour back into the pot.
- Add in the cheese and sausage. Season with black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and sausage has warmed through.
- Serve and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
