German Potato Soup with Sausage

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 lb Smoked Sausage (pork or beef)
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 6 cups Chicken Broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy Cream (or coconut cream)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 leaf Bay Leaf

Instructions

1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the diced medium onion, diced 2 medium carrots, and diced 2 stalks celery to the pot. Cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
2. 2Add the 1.5 lb potatoes, peeled and diced, and the 1 lb smoked sausage to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly brown the sausage and potatoes.
3. 3Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth and add the 1 bay leaf. Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
4. 4Carefully remove and discard the 1 bay leaf from the pot. Stir in the 0.5 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream) until fully combined.
5. 5Season the soup with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
6. 6Ladle the German Potato Soup with Sausage into bowls. Garnish each serving with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, before serving.
