Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Italian sausage Mild or spicy, depending on preference
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Optional

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks until evenly browned.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour the broth over the top. Bring it to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it warm through for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve.

Notes

For lighter options, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a splash of milk. This soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to a month.
