We went to Olive Garden one night and I had the best potato soup ever. It had meat in it…..probably Italian sausage. After some trial and error, I finally emulated the recipe on my own.
Potato Soup with Sausage
Ingredients
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 - 4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Deans)
1 bunch green onions, diced
1 tbsp butter
Procedure
Add butter to a medium sized pot. Once it melts and is hot, add potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently (think stir fry).
Add enough chicken broth to just cover the potatoes. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
While potatoes are cooking, crumble the sausage into a large skillet and brown. Drain, and set aside.
When potatoes are nearly done, add cooked sausage and return to heat, about 5 minutes. Now add cream and green onions. Stir to fully incorporate. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
Notes
This is even better the next day after sitting in the fridge over night.
