Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb pork sausage mild or hot, depending on preference
  • 4 potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, diced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk for lighter version
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Skillet
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Brown the pork sausage in a skillet until golden and slightly crispy. Drain excess grease.
  2. While the sausage cooks, chop the potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery.
  3. Place the sausage, vegetables, garlic, seasonings, and broth into the Crockpot. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  5. In the last 30 minutes, stir in the heavy cream or milk. Let it heat through to create a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or red pepper flakes.

Notes

This recipe is easy to customize—swap in spinach, kale, sun-dried tomatoes, or use turkey sausage. For thicker soup, mash a few potatoes after cooking.
