Ingredients
- 8 whole Italian sausage links, casings removed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, over medium heat, add the olive oil, the sausage, and the onion. Saute, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and transfer to a paper-towel lined colander. You will want to drain the grease well.
- Add the chicken stock, potatoes, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a low boil. Boil until the potatoes are just done -about 25 minutes.
- Remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
- Add the sausage and onion mixture back to the pot. Add the heavy cream and stir well to combine.
- Bring the soup back to a low boil. Once the soup begins to bubble slightly, turn off the heat and place a lid on the pot. Allow the soup to sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid. Stir about a teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
- Grated cheddar cheese is a great topping for this soup!
