Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Base

  • 1 pound sweet or mild Italian sausage

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Herbs & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks until fully cooked with crispy edges that add flavor to the soup base.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften and release their natural sweetness, creating a fragrant foundation.
  3. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender and absorb the soup’s flavors.
  4. Stir in Cream and Herbs: Reduce heat and add heavy cream, fresh parsley, and thyme. Stir gently and let the soup thicken, developing its signature creamy texture.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls while warm and enjoy the balanced savory and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage for best flavor.
  • Add cream at the end to prevent curdling and keep soup silky.
  • Chop vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Simmer gently to meld flavors without breaking down ingredients.
  • Adjust salt progressively, especially if broth is pre-seasoned.
