Italian Creamy Potato Soup Recipe

Italian Creamy Potato Soup Recipe

Time: 30-45 minutes

Ingredients:

1. Sliced and peeled 2.5 kg of Russet potatoes. Cut the potatoes into bite size chunks.
2. Fat free 1- 49 ½ oz. can of chicken broth or vegetable broth. Little amount of water can also be added to the broth.
3. Italian seasoning mix according to taste.
4. 1 tsp of finely chopped garlic.
5. Salt and pepper according to individual taste.
6. 5-6 Italian sausage or turkey sausage (less amount of calories).
7. A can of evaporated milk, to be used in proportion with the soup made.






Method of Preparation:

1. Heat a large pot on medium flame. The pot should be large enough to accommodate the amount of potatoes and the sausage.

2. When the pot is slightly heated, add the vegetable or chicken broth. Once the broth seems to boil a bit, add the potato pieces, little bit of water, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Mix all the ingredients well and allow the mixture to boil in medium flame. Cover the cooking pot. After some time add the sausages. To do so, cut the end of the sausage casing and squeeze out small amounts. Never cook the sausage beforehand.

4. Cover the pot finally with a lid. Add water to bring the soup to desired consistency.

5. Keep stirring the soup at intervals.

6. Remove the pot from the flames once the potatoes are tender.
7. Lastly, add the evaporated milk. Make sure you have removed the pot from the stove. You should not cook any further while adding the milk and afterwards.

8. Pour the soup in a bowl, garnish with chopped coriander if you like. Otherwise, serve with fresh Cheese bread and jalapenos or with garlic bread as well.
