A fellow JAP friend asked me what's for supper. I was undecided. Then thought, I have lots of potatoes and a roll of Bob Evans spicy sausage...why not a soup?...so, soup it was and might I add, it was delicious. Enjoy!

How To Make ~ comforting chunky potato soup ~

  • 1
    Place prepared potatoes in a saucepan and just cover with water. I added a little salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the water they cooked in, Set aside.
  • 2
    In the meantime, brown your sausage if using instead of ham ( I suggest trying the sausage once ). It gave it a great flavor.
  • 3
    When potatoes are about done, in a dutch oven, melt butter and add the onion and garlic, continue cooking until translucent and tender, but not browned.
  • 4
    Add the flour, red pepper flakes, black pepper and cook, stirring often for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • 5
    Add the drained potatoes, liquid from potatoes, milk, salt, sugar, cheese and ham or sausage, stirring well to combine and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes, or until heated through and thickened, stirring frequently
  • 6
    Stir in the parsley and ladle into bowls. I added some cheddar cheese and green onion slices. Would be great with a nice crusty slice of bread. I usually add a pinch or two of nutmeg to my cream soups as well. Entirely up to you. Add more salt if needed. Enjoy!
