Grandma’s Creamy Sausage & Potato Soup

Ingredients

In fact, this recipe is simplicity personified! There are just 3 components:

1. Veggies – Classic onion, potatoes and carrots chopped and boiled to soften them. Quick tip: waxy red potatoes are a sturdy choice as they hold up well after they are boiled.
2. Sausage –  I use naturally hardwood smoked Eckrich Turkey Skinless Smoked Sausage Rope with the perfect blend of spices for a slow-simmered taste in minutes.
3. A creamy base that starts with butter and ends with 6 – 6! – cups of milk

Extra sausage laying around? I also use it in my grilled bbq glazed sausage recipe and this sheet pan sausage and veggies on our sister site!

Step by step

1. Start with a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add chopped veggies to the pot and add water until they are just covered. Bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes or until tender.
2. While the veggies are boiling melt the butter in the microwave in a large bowl.
3. Add flour and stir until creamy.
4. Whisk in bouillon, then milk one cup at a time, stirring well to blend.
5. Add milk mixture to vegetables, then sausage and stir to mix.
6. Simmer 15 minutes until soup is creamy and thick. Enjoy!

Storage and reheating

Store this soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Reheat over medium heat on the stovetop, stirring often until heated through.
