I started with a basic potato soup and added my own touches to come up with this comforting recipe, writes Beth Allard from Belmont, New Hampshire. Ingredients:
8 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped |
2 garlic cloves, peeled |
1/2 pound bulk italian sausage |
1 small onion, chopped |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
8 cups milk |
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules |
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes, carrot and garlic in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Place 3 cups potato mixture in a large bowl and mash. Set aside mashed potatoes and remaining potato mixture.
2. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a Dutch oven, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add the milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until soup is thickened.
3. Add the parsley, salt, bouillon, seasoned salt and pepper; mix well. Add mashed potato mixture; cook and stir until heated through. Add reserved potato and sausage mixtures. Heat through. Yield: 12 servings (about 3 quarts).
