Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound hot Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 medium-sized onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add hot Italian sausage and cook until browned. Season with Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  2. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pot using a slotted spoon. In the same pot, sauté diced carrots, celery, and onion until the onion turns translucent.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, whole milk, and heavy cream. Stir and add diced russet potatoes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring the soup to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the pot, followed by sour cream. Gently mash some of the potatoes to thicken the soup slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the creamy sausage potato soup garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.
