Creamy Sausage Potato Soup Recipe

This is a creamy sausage potato soup recipe I love to make when we have a crowd coming over for dinner. I typically always have the ingredients, except for maybe the fresh Kale, in the refrigerator. Here’s the deal, you could leave the kale out and it’s still a really good soup!

It’s an inexpensive soup you can make from scratch and add more or less of any of the ingredients. In other words, it’s pretty much a no-fail soup.

Creamy Sausage Potato Soup Recipe

Mark and I were up in Salt Lake City, Utah for the Christmas holidays and we had a lot of people to feed. This is one of our go-to soups that our family really enjoys. Plus, the fact that we don’t eat out very often to help save money, and because we love to cook together as a family, soups have become a staple for us!

Heidi, our daughter had a lot of red potatoes she wanted to use up, so we started chopping the potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and bacon. Costco sells their cream fairly cheap for a 1/2 gallon and we had a few cartons in the refrigerator.

Nate, our son-in-law, picked up the sausage to fry for the soup. Oh, how I wish you could smell how yummy this soup is! Do you love to cook meals with your family as much as I do?

When we go up north, my granddaughter, Elle, always wants to make cream-chipped beef on toast with me! It makes my heart melt, just saying. I love teaching her to cook from scratch like her mama.

Then you brown the sausage and add the onions and potatoes to simmer in the chicken broth. I used a fork to test when the potatoes were finished cooking.

The next thing was adding the sliced mushrooms and bacon bits to the soup pot. That oil you see is the sausage grease that gives it the yummy flavor.

    1. Hi Kelly, I’ve never made it without cream but I’m sure when I was growing up we didn’t use cream with our budget. I love soup because you can make so many changes in the soup. Linda

  1. My sister made a similar soup one year for Christmas with my siblings. She didn’t have kale and used baby spinach that she added at the very last before serving. It was yummy.

  2. When do you put the water in the soup? Also, would it be possible to substitute milk for water to give the soup more nutritive value?

    1. Hi Marilyn, thanks for letting me know I forgot to add the water to the instructions. I really appreciate it. The thing about this soup or any soup the ingredients can be added to or left out. I love making soup for that very reason. If I have leftovers I just add them to the pot. Thanks again, Linda

  3. this is very close to the Tuscan soup I make. I use a mild Italian sausage ,real bacon crumbles (no mushrooms) and half & half (if I don’t happen to have cream). This was the only soup my mom was able to eat while taking chemo treatments so I added extra kale to it. I make copies of your recipes for my grand daughters’ cook books. ( I am printing recipes and making cookbooks for several grand daughters). Thank you for sharing your recipes. I have tried several and all have turned out great. Love and God Bless

    1. Hi Judy, you are always so kind with your words. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me you like my recipes and you share them with your granddaughters!! God bless you, Linda
