Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the Italian sausage, cubed potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until they are well combined.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 3.5 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through without boiling.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, remove about 2 cups of the cooked potatoes and mash them before stirring them back into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a less rich soup, substitute the heavy cream with evaporated milk.
  • This recipe freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to three months.
