2. Once the oil is hot, add diced potatoes and generously season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the potatoes until they begin to soften or in non-culinary terms for about 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes, add some chopped onions into the mix and stir until they become translucent.
5. Break up the sausage and add it into the mix with some red and green bell peppers.

How To Make Potato Sausage Soup?

Since we’ve already covered some more advanced recipes, it’s time to slow down a bit. We’re going back to the basics with a one-pot recipe for potato sausage soup!

1. First, I will need you to find a large pot or Dutch oven. Place it over medium heat and add a touch of olive oil to it.
2. When the oil warms up, add the sausages and cook them at medium heat for about 10 minutes – this should bring the outside to just the right degree of crispy.
3. Now add some chopped onions to the mix and stir until they soften. To the non-culinary experts, unlike us, that means for about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. After the onions soften, pour in 4 cups of stock and 1 1/2 cup of milk.
5. Add some diced potatoes into the pot once the stock and milk are in.
6. And now comes our favorite part – seasoning. For this recipe, we recommend using salt, of course, but also black pepper, garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes. For an extra kick of flavor, add a couple of bay leaves and thyme.
7. You’ve got all the ingredients in now, so turn the heat up to medium-high and bring everything up to a simmer. Not a boil! Before it has the chance to boil, bring the heat down to medium-low cook for about 15 minutes – or until the potatoes soften, with the lid half-closed.
8. At the end of cooking, make sure to take the thyme and bay leaves out -they’re great for adding flavor, not so great for eating, though. Since you’ve already uncovered the lid, put a little grated parmesan and kale into the pot.
9. Close the lid and cook at low heat for five more minutes – just enough time for the kale to soften.
10. Then add – no, we’re just kidding! The soup is all done and ready to warm you up on a chilly winter evening.
