Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • Additional sour cream, as desired

Instructions

  1. Saute the Onion: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Brown the Sausage: Add the ground pork sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned throughout. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Cook Potatoes: Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add Dairy and Seasoning: Stir in half and half, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently until steaming but do not boil.
  6. Finish Soup: Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth and fully combined. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and additional sour cream as desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the half and half.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels.
  • Add cooked crispy bacon for extra smoky flavor.
  • This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
