Potato & Smoked Sausage Soup
Author: Rachel's Healthy Plate
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced small
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 lbs white potatoes - washed, peeled, diced into ½ inch cubes (I used russet)
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 4 links of Gilbert's Craft Sausage Andouille Chicken Sausage, diced into ½ inch cubes *(Or sub similar pre-cooked sausage, such as smoked turkey sausage, or ham if you can't find this one)
- 1-2 cup 2% milk (see note)
- Green onion to garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add onion along with the salt and pepper and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth and diced potatoes and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a low boil and let cook until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes (check doneness with a fork).
- Using a wire whisk lightly mash some of the potatoes in the pot. (I mash about ⅓ of the potatoes because I like to have chunks and the potatoes will continue to break apart as you stir.)
- Stir in diced sausage and cook on low for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in milk, starting with 1 cup - based on your desired consistency you can add up to 1 more cup without altering the points value. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Enjoy!
Notes
Makes 6 servings at 7 WW SmartPoints each on both the Blue and Green WW plans.
*If you substitute the sausage for something different please check the points, as yours might be different. The Andouille sausage I use is 2 points per link. The 4 links in the recipe account for 10 total SmartPoints (#WWmath).
*If you add 2 cups of milk vs 1 cup the points remain the same - just decide how much you want to use based on your desired consistency. It's great both ways!
The nutritional info shown is for ⅙ of the recipe and using 1 cup of milk.
