This Simple 3-Ingredient Potato and Sausage Soup is a rich, comforting, and hearty dish perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Made with only Andouille sausage, Russet potatoes, and heavy whipping cream, this soup combines creamy texture with savory sausage flavor for an easy yet delicious experience.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 3 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • Chives, for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat the sausage: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until deeply browned, about 8-10 minutes, to develop rich flavor.
  2. Remove the sausage: Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove the browned sausage from the pot, leaving the rendered fat behind for the potatoes.
  3. Cook the potatoes: Add the diced Russet potatoes to the pot and cook them in the sausage grease for 1 minute to lightly coat and begin softening.
  4. Simmer the potatoes: Add enough water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are soft, approximately 20 minutes.
  5. Blend the soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy, but leave some potato chunks intact for texture.
  6. Finish the soup: Stir in the heavy whipping cream, then add salt, pepper, and the cooked sausage slices back into the pot. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute Andouille sausage with other smoked sausages if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste based on dietary preferences.
  • For a thinner soup, add a little more water or broth when simmering potatoes.
  • Use an immersion blender carefully to avoid overheating or splashing hot soup.
  • Chives add a fresh, mild onion flavor but are optional.
