There is nothing better than a big bowl of this soup on a chilly evening. It is the kind of meal that warms you right up from the inside out and always leaves everyone asking for seconds at my table.

I love how the Italian sausage adds so much flavor to the broth without needing a long list of extra spices. If you want a little more color, stir in a handful of fresh baby spinach right at the end until it just wilts.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups half and half
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat until it is cooked through, breaking it into small pieces with your spoon.
2
Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until it is soft and translucent.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until it smells fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
6
Pour in the half and half and stir gently to combine everything.
7
Let the soup warm through for another 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to your liking before serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat this gently on the stove over low heat. If you like it extra thick, mash a few of the cooked potato chunks against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
