Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage mild or spicy, your choice
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced use any variety, like russets or Yukon gold
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth homemade or store-bought

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and almost cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and stir for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring everything to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Spoon the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

This stew is great for leftovers! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove; add a splash of broth if it thickens too much.
