We love soup!  In fact when we started this blog I wanted it to be just a soup blog.  Common sense prevailed and we love all food groups equally now, but thats how much we love soup!  Did I mention we love soup?

Ingredients for Sausage and Potato Soup –

• Sausage – we used bulk mild Italian sausage
• Potatoes – red or gold are our preferred for this soup as they are more firm than a russet.
• Carrots, Celery and Onion – called a Mirepoix .  The base of most all great soup.
• Bell Pepper – any color.  We used red.
• Chicken Stock – low sodium if you have it.
• Heavy cream – just a half cup will do.
• Fresh Spinach – or kale
• Thyme, salt and pepper 

Let’s get started, this takes only about 20 minutes –

• Brown your sausage in a large soup pot or dutch oven.  Drain any grease and add the veggies.  Cook just until soft.

What kind of sausage should I use for the Potato Sausage Soup?

• Bulk Mild Italian Sausage really flavors this soup.  However if you prefer a more smokey flavor Keilbasa type will work well. Simply dice up and cook along with the vegetables.
•  Take a minute to remove all but a couple tablespoons of the grease before adding your veggies to the pot.  

Add in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes.  Then the stock, cream, spices and potatoes and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork tender.  Toss in the spinach, give a stir and let the spinach cook down.

Taste taste taste – more cream, more spices, more tomato?  This is your soup do what you want!

Serve this soup with our One Bowl, No Yeast Quick Cheese Bread – if you make this bread once you’ll make it 100 times!
