Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 sausages, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and carrots until soft.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and sausage and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until creamy.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. For a chunkier soup, reserve some diced potatoes before blending and stir them back into the soup afterward. Adjust the seasoning to taste with more herbs or spices as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
