Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound turkey sausage
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 21/4 cups mirepoix (diced carrots, celery, onion)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups chopped baby gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Hearty buttered bread (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. In the same pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté mirepoix for 5–7 minutes; add minced garlic and cook briefly.
  3. Stir in chopped potatoes, dried herbs, salt, and pepper; pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. While simmering, melt remaining butter in another pot; whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk until thickened; stir in heavy cream.
  5. Combine the creamy mixture into the soup base; add cheese gradually until melted and smooth. Serve warm.
