CROCK POT SAUSAGE POTATO SOUP
If you love potato soup, you will want to try this version. Adding andouille or smoked sausage takes it up a notch; it’s hearty and delicious.
Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Sausage Potato Soup
This soup is easy to make, loaded with flavor and perfect on a cool night. It’s hearty and delicious and actually super versatile. You can switch up the sausage, use turkey smoked sausage, hot Andouille sausage or beef kielbasa. We used russet potatoes but you can use yellow potatoes if you like. It’s so simple, add everything to the crock pot and before you know it, you have a wonderful dinner. We suggest adding cornbread muffins!
Swaps and Additions
Like stated above, you can easily switch up the sausage to any you prefer. You can also switch up the spices; we made this more Cajun style, but you don’t have to, and if you don’t like onion or green pepper, leave them out. We like the cream cheese in this and use full-fat, but low-fat would be fine too. We use heavy cream because it adds great flavor. We love it with cheddar cheese but you can switch it up if you want.
