sausage potato soup

Cheesy, creamy, and comforting Sausage Potato Soup is loaded with Italian sausage, golden baby potatoes, veggies, and a cheesy cream base.

Sausage Potato Soup

sausage

unsalted butter, (divided)

olive oil

mirepoix: (3/4 cup diced carrots, 3/4 cup diced celery, 3/4 cup diced yellow onion)

garlic, (minced)

baby gold potatoes

EACH: dried basil, dried parsley flakes

chicken stock ((or chicken broth))

all-purpose flour

1% milk

heavy cream

salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cheddar cheese

sour cream ((fat free is great))

SAUSAGE: Line a large plate with paper towels and set aside. Heat a very large pot (I recommend cast iron), over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the sausage. Let stand without touching for 30 seconds to a minute. Then stir and chop the meat until you have sausage crumbles. Transfer to prepared plate and drain off any grease except for 1 tablespoon. If there is no grease, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot.

VEGGIES: In the same pot with 1 tablespoon sausage grease or olive oil, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the diced carrots, celery and onion and sauté 5-7 minutes or until tender (if not diced small, you may need 7-10 minutes). Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.

POTATOES AND SEASONING: Stir in the chopped potatoes, dried basil, dried parsley, salt and pepper to taste (I add 1 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper, but add to preference and don&#039;t forget to taste and adjust at the end!). Stir. Add in chicken stock or broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and cook 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender (easily pierced with a fork).

CREAM SAUCE: Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in milk (whisk well until smooth). Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to gently boil and thicken; stir in the heavy cream.

FINISHING: Remove sauce from heat and once all soup veggies are tender, pour the milk/cream mixture into the soup and stir. Lower heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese. Heat until cheese is melted. Stir in sour cream, return the sausage into the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm with freshly chopped parsley or thyme and bread!

This cheesy, creamy, and comforting sausage potato soup is loaded with Italian sausage, golden baby potatoes, veggies, and a cheesy cream base. My take on the famous "cheeseburger soup"

This hearty soup combines the well known flavors of sausage and potato soup with the very classic Wisconsin beer cheese soup.

Beer Cheese Potato Soup with Sausage

spicy turkey sausage

butter

white onion, diced

carrots

celery

garlic,

oregano

thyme

flour

chicken broth

can of your favorite beer

lbs. russet potatoes, diced in 1/2" pieces

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

white balsamic vinegar

Kosher salt

cracked pepper

green onion

cheddar cheese

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and brown, crumbling with a spatula until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat butter in the same large pot (no need to wipe it out) over medium high heat.

Add onion, carrots, celery and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 10-12 minutes.

Turn heat to medium and add garlic, oregano and thyme and cook for another minute.

Then add flour and stir to coat veggies. Cook for one more minute, stirring frequently.

Stir in beer, chicken broth, and diced potatoes along with another pinch of salt and pepper.

Cover, turn heat up to medium high and bring to a simmer.

Once it begins to simmer, turn heat to low, cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot. 

Remove soup from heat. Transfer half of the soup mixture to a high speed blend. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour back into pot. 

Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Then add white balsamic vinegar.

Add cooked sausage back into the pot. Heat the soup over medium heat for a couple minutes, until sausage is heated through. 

Garnish with green onions and shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy!

This recipe is fantastic! Very forgiving, also. I had to stop a couple of times mid-recipe and it still turned out great! I

Best beer cheese soup I ever made! I will make it again.

Excellent recipe! I doubled the recipe and swapped the Turkey sausage for smoked sausage, kielbasa and andouille sausages. It turned out sooo good and it wasn’t difficult to make at all.  Thank you for sharing!

Honestly.. great recipe! Soup is delicious. But its extremely difficult to review this site! Can't even get a print of the recipe as the advertisements kill the experience.

Definitely a keeper, so delicious and easy to make. I read the reviews and tried it with andouille and mild Italian sausage. I also used Fosters lager. Will be making again. Does this freeze well?

YUM! Thanks for sharing this hearty and delicious soup recipe. Perfect for a cold winter night. My husband is already asking when can I make this one again. He ate 3 bowls at dinner! I didn’t have white balsamic vinegar but I will pick some up for next batch.

This was such a delicious and easy make! Made it exactly as recipe called and it definitely didn’t disappoint…at all! Thank you for sharing. 

Next time, I’m going to swap the sausage out for bacon. 🖤

This is my first time making this soup, but it won’t be the last. It’s cold and snowy today, and this is the perfect satisfyingly flavorful soup.  I used my immersion blender instead of transferring the soup into a blender.  Thanks for a yummy recipe!

Hey, Kylie!
I made your potato beer cheese soup today…it went really well!  This stuff is waaay tasty!!
I used turkey bacon and white wine and a Stella.
Thank you for making this recipe and most of all, for sharing with all of us😁😁

Beer_Cheese_Sausage

Sausage Potato Soup is hearty, creamy and delicious. The soup is perfect cooked on the stovetop but you can easily cook in your slow cooker.

ground italian sausage

onion (chopped)

garlic

Russet Potatoes (peeled and diced)

salt

pepper

heavy whipping cream

Tablespoons Cornstarch

parmesan cheese (for serving)

Brown the sausage with the diced onion in a large pot over medium high heat until the sausage is no longer pink and is cooked through.  Drain off any excess grease.

Then add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.

Slowly add the chicken broth to the pot and use a wooden spoon or spatula to clean the bottom of the pan to get the brown bits off the bottom of the pan and add more flavor to the soup.

Once all the broth is added, stir in the diced potatoes, salt and pepper.

Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.  Cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes in the soup are fork tender.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping and cornstarch.

Turn the heat up all the soup to medium and stir in the heavy whipping cream mixture.

Heat for 3-5 minutes until the cream is heated through and the soup has thickened.

Serve warm topped with the parmesan cheese and enjoy!

This sausage potato soup is pure creamy comfort food. It uses simple ingredients, but it&#39;ll surprise you with just how flavorful it is.

Creamy Sausage Potato Soup

russet potatoes (diced)

pork sausage

onion

salted butter

garlic (about 4 cloves)

half and half

sour cream

salt (to taste)

black pepper

cheddar cheese ((optional))

chives ((optional))

Peel and dice 2 pounds&#32;russet potatoes into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add 1 pound&#32;ground pork sausage and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked sausage and set aside.

Add in 1 medium&#32;yellow onion (diced) and cook for 7 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add in 2 tablespoons&#32;salted butter and 4 teaspoons&#32;minced garlic and stir until butter is melted.

Slowly pour in 4 cups&#32;chicken broth and 2 cups&#32;half and half. Add in the diced potatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue simmering until potatoes are soft and tender, about 15 minutes.

Once the potatoes are tender, gently mash them to achieve a creamy texture while leaving some chunks for consistency. Stir in 1 cup&#32;sour cream and add in the cooked sausage. Season with 1 teaspoon&#32;salt and 1/2 teaspoon&#32;black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Serve hot topped with 1/2 cup&#32;shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon&#32;minced chives, and an additional dollop of sour cream.

Excellent soup!  Very thick, hearty and comforting. I did not use sour cream and added some carrots and celery.  I would serve this to company and know it would be a huge hit!

Very good winter soup. I did drain the sausage (used Jimmy Dean hot) and added a stalk of celery and a shredded carrot to the vegetables.

It was perfect for this winter day! Only item not used was the sour cream. Yet it was still great. Thanks!

I recently made this soup. It was FABULOUS!! Even better the next day when the flavors married more overnight in the fridge. My husband usually growns when I try a new recipe but he LOVED this one. Next time I'll double the batch so I can freeze some. Winner winner soups for dinner!

Excellent easy soup, used chicken sausage cut in small pieces, broccoli carrots. Thank you❤️

I tried it,it was a real hit! I always down play what I cook.But this  receipe, I gave my approval. Thanks!

Thank you, Caytlin and Rachel. I haven't made it yet, but I will. It looks delicious.

I make this soup with jalapeno cheddar sausage. We have great butcher (T&amp;T meats McDonough Ga). I use heavy cream vs half &amp; half and no sour cream. I finish it with diced up cooked bacon and cheddar cheese. This is a great IP soup.

This has got to be the best soup I’ve ever had! Seriously amazing. Will be making this again, and soon!
