Sausage and Potato Soup

1

I love cooking for my family and friends and strive to accommodate everyone. This is the ideal soup to make because it tastes incredible and everyone will be happy with full bellies.

ingredients:

You can use sweet Italian sausage, spicy Italian sausage or even switch gears and go with some chicken sausage. Will all taste amazing. The mirepoix is what is known as the flavor base consisting of diced up vegetables, slowly cooked in some butter or oil. Here I used the traditional combination of onion, celery and carrot.

You want to add the flour to your veggies when they are done sauteing. Coat everything in the flour which will thicken the soup. Add your broth in slowly, so as to keep the soup nice and thick. I especially enjoyed the soy sauce and Sriracha. You can leave them out if you want but don’t. That goes for the mustard powder too.

My favorite of course, is the heavy cream. You can sub that in for some coconut cream to make it dairy free (and use olive oil with the mirepoix, instead of butter). I also highly recommend topping the soup with some shredded cheddar and fresh parsley. Really makes the dish.
