There is nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup on a chilly evening. And with veggies, meat, and potatoes, this hearty Italian sausage potato soup is a great way to enjoy harvests from the past season.
Quick and easy to make, Italian sausage potato soup is a great all-in-one meal, perfect for weeknight meals or freezing for later use.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat; add sausage and cook until browned.
Remove the sausage and place in a separate container. Keep the oil and grease from the sausage in the skillet and add in the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and paprika. Stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Next, stir in the potatoes and kale. Then pour the chicken broth, water, and milk into the skillet.
Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the potatoes are softened, approximately 15 minutes.
Stir the sausage back into the skillet and add salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh parsley and serve.
Adding in the kale and milk is optional. The soup tastes just as great without them. I have omitted kale in the past when my kids weren't into leafy greens and skipped the milk to make this soup Paleo friendly.
