Ingredients
1 lb smoked beef sausage, sliced into rounds
3 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef bone broth
2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Place a large stockpot over medium-high heat and sear the beef sausage slices for 5-7 minutes until crispy; remove and set aside.
Add butter to the same pot, melt it, then add diced onions and cook for 4 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Add diced potatoes, beef bone broth, and dried thyme, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and the cooked sausage, heating through for 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve topped with fresh parsley.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop. For a thicker soup texture, mash a few of the potato cubes directly in the pot.
