Ingredients
1lb 1lb Hill’s Brick Sausage
1/4cup Butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 Medium onion chopped small
2stick Celery chopped small
2clove Garlic minced
6tbsp Flour
4cup Low sodium chicken broth
2cup Half-and-half
1tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2tsp Crushed red pepper flakes optional
1lb Russet potatoes peeled & diced small
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Crumble the Hill’s Brick Sausages into a soup pot. Over medium-high heat, cook until browned (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Leave the fat in the pot, but if it's more than about a tablespoon, drain some of it out.
2
Add the butter to the pot and once it's melted, add the onion and celery and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
3
Stir in the garlic and flour. Cook for about 2 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon/stirring it as you go along. This step cooks the raw flour flavor out.
4
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until all the flour has dissolved and there's no lumps.
5
Stir in the half-and-half, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, potatoes, and add the Hill’s Brick Sausage back to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat so it's bubbling but not boiling like crazy (medium-low heat works with my cast iron pot and gas stove). Cover the pot with the lid slightly open.
6
Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened up to your liking. I like to stir it a few times to ensure nothing is sticking and that the stove's temperature is still correct.
