There is something deeply comforting about a bowl of Sausage Potato Soup on a chilly evening. It is the kind of meal that fills your kitchen with an irresistible aroma and warms you from the inside out. This creamy soup recipe is hearty, flavorful, and incredibly simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and one pot to clean.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot, based on your preference)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage, leaving about a tablespoon of drippings in the pot.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Finish with Cream and Greens: Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook for another 5 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute turkey sausage and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few of the potato cubes before adding the cream. For an extra layer of flavor, try deglazing the pot with a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions and garlic.
