Delish Creamy Italian Sausage and Potato Soup

Creamy Italian Sausage and Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound mild Italian sausage

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

3 cups chopped kale or spinach

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling before serving

Instructions

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

Once fully cooked, remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and discard excess drippings from the pot.

Return the sausage to the pot and add the diced potatoes, chicken stock, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10–12 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove about half of the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Mash until smooth, then stir the mashed potatoes back into the soup to thicken.

Add the kale or spinach along with the heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and tender.

Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with shredded Parmesan cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
