Creamy Sausage And Potato Soup

Sausage and Potato Soup

Potato soups are so comforting in the colder months and this sausage and potato soup is sure to be a family dinner pleasure! Made with sweet Italian chicken, turkey or pork sausage, potatoes, spinach and white beans. Some of my other favorite potato soups you may like are Loaded Baked Potato Soup, Potato Leek Soup and Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup.

This recipe is from the Feeding Littles and Beyond Cookbook; 100 Baby-Led-Weaning-Friendly Recipes the Whole Family Will Love. My friend Ali Maffucci, of Inspiralized and one of the author’s of this cookbook writes “You may be surprised that this Creamy Sausage Potato Soup has no cream! I know many families avoid dairy because of allergies or intolerances but miss the flavor and texture of dairy foods. That’s why I have lots of dairy-free-but-still- creamy recipes.” The key to making this soup creamy without cream is the cannellini beans. I do this a lot with many of my soup recipes. Plus beans are packed with protein and fiber, adding a richness to this soup that complements the hearty flavors of the Italian sausage. If you have young ones, the potatoes are softened making them great for beginner eaters, passing the “squish test.” You may ask yourself why you would ever need dairy to thicken a soup again once you try this trick. More recipes in the cookbook that I can’t wait to make; zucchini and quinoa lasagna, cauliflower parmesan bake and english muffin pizzas, just to name a few!

Potato Soup Ingredients

Sausage: Use your favorite mild Italian sausage. I like chicken or turkey, but you can use pork or even vegan sausage can be used here. If you like it hot, try using spicy sausage instead. Beans: Rinse and drain one can of cannellini beans. I usually use any canned white beans I have in my pantry, try Northern or Navy beans. Broth: Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth will work. Potatoes: Yellow potatoes are used for this soup recipe. You can also try red or any waxy potato. Spinach: Add chopped spinach to the pot after the potatoes are tender and simmer for a minute. Extra flavor: Onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper make this healthy soup so delicious.

Italian Sausage: Any type of ground Italian sausage will work! Sweet, mild, or hot, depending on your desired spice level. Minced Yellow Onion: Adds sweet flavor and texture. Minced Garlic: So the soup has that mouthwatering savory flavor. Chopped Carrots: Adds texture and a beautiful color. Chopped Kale: This leafy green adds a vitamin boost and extra texture. Italian Seasoning: A blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme for a classic Italian flavor. Fresh Parsley: Chopped to add herby flavor to the sausage and potato soup. Red Pepper Flakes: Adjust the amount for the desired heat level. Salt and Pepper: Season to your preference. Chicken Broth: The base of the soup. Heavy Cream: Creates a rich and creamy texture. You can also use half and half if you’d like. Petite Yellow Potatoes: These are also called baby gold potatoes. Chopped small, they add bits of hearty texture to the soup. I love their creamy, buttery texture so much! Grated Parmesan: Melts into the soup for a pop of salty flavor.

How to Make Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup

Grab your soup pot and get ready to make some hearty, meaty goodness! It only takes 25 minutes for it all to cook up. It’s a great choice for a busy weeknight dinner.

Other Veggies: Swap the kale for spinach. Or add chopped zucchini, celery, bell peppers, or broccoli for extra color and nutrients. Use Half and Half: You can use Half and Half in place of the heavy cream. It won’t be quite as rich, but still creamy! This is a great option to make your soup a little lighter. More Toppings: For more flavor and texture, add chopped green onions or crumbled bacon to your sausage and potato soup.
