Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring, then add milk and cream.
  6. Add diced potatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You can also substitute Italian sausage with turkey sausage for less fat.
