Lip Smacking Good Sausage Potato Soup
This is the time of year for all things soup! Of course I am a huge year round soup lover but this time of year I am particularly fond of it!! This amazingly easy Sausage Potato Soup is a tried and true family favorite. It is so good that you will be tilting that bowl to get the last drop onto that spoon. Or if you are like my husband you will just lift it up to your face and slurp it right out of there.
This lip smacking Sausage Potato Soup is a combination of lean pork sausage, chunks of russet potatoes, onion, carrots and celery in a creamy cheddar broth. For added deliciousness top with a dollop of sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar and chopped green onions. This pot of heavenly goodness comes together in about forty-five minutes which includes some simmer time.

February 9, 2018 at 2:15 amCould you use ground beef and beef broth instead?
Beth Pierce says
February 9, 2018 at 1:17 pmYes you could but I think I would use ground beef and chicken broth. I know it is not customary but I think it would taste better.
Jody says
August 29, 2018 at 6:11 amCan you make this in a crock pot?
Beth Pierce says
August 29, 2018 at 4:14 pmI am not sure because I have not tried. If you do be sure to brown the sausage before placing in the crock pot. Maybe one of the readers will have tried that and respond.

Lauren says
December 17, 2018 at 7:13 pmI tried it in the crockpot and it didn’t thicken at all. It is much better if you make it on the stovetop.
But this has quickly become a family favorite!
