A comforting and easy sausage potato soup, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a chilly evening. This one-pot meal is simple to make and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sliced sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, water, and diced tomatoes. Add the oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Return the cooked sausage to the pot.
  7. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Stir in the milk and heat through, but do not boil.
  9. If using, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
  • This soup can also be made in a slow cooker. Brown sausage and sauté onion and garlic on the stovetop, then combine all ingredients except milk and cheese in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir in milk and cheese before serving.
