Instructions

In the same pot, sauté onions, carrots, and celery until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly.
Add potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Pour in milk and stir until the soup thickens.
Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to blend flavors. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty sausage potato soup!

Tips, Tricks & Storing
Here are some handy tips for making the best sausage potato soup:
Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape better in soup.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly and are easy to eat.
For extra flavor, try using smoked sausage or adding a splash of white wine while cooking.
Don’t overcook the potatoes or they’ll get mushy. Test them with a fork for doneness.
To store leftovers, let the soup cool completely. Then put it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just leave out some space at the top of the container for expansion.
When reheating, warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave. Add a splash of broth if it’s too thick.
For a creamy twist, stir in some heavy cream or milk before serving.
Top your soup with shredded cheese, croutons, or fresh herbs for extra flavor and crunch.
