Creamy Sausage Potato Soup - Delicious homemade soup recipe made simply in your slow cooker. This soup is loaded with kielbasa sausage, potatoes and veggies in a creamy broth. Serve with your favorite bread, salads, sandwiches and more.
Ingredients you need to make Sausage Potato Soup:
Kielbasa Sausage (12oz) - We used one beef kielbasa sausage in this recipe, but you can use any kielbasa or link sausage you prefer!
Chopped Carrots (1 Cup) - Whole carrots or baby carrots will both work fine.
Chopped Celery (1 Cup) - Fresh celery stems.
Russet Potatoes (2 Medium)- You can also use golden or red potatoes.
Peas (1 cup)- You can use frozen or canned peas in this recipe.
Chopped Onions (1 Cup) - I used yellow onion. You can use yellow, white or sweet onion in this recipe.
Garlic Cloves (3 Minced) - Fresh garlic is best in this recipe. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute for garlic powder - use one teaspoon.
Heavy Cream (1 Cup) - Heavy cream or half and half will both work fine. Although I recommend heavy cream for a creamier soup.
Cream Cheese (¼ Cup) - Adds a delicious creamy flavor to the soup.
Chicken Broth (2 Cups) - If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can use beef or vegetable broth. We used chicken bone broth.
Butter (2 Tablespoons) - Salted or unsalted butter both work great.
Thyme (¼ Teaspoon) - Dried or fresh.
Parsley (1 Teaspoon) - Dried or fresh parsley both work great in this recipe.
Salt (1 Teaspoon) - Any cooking salt you prefer.
Black Pepper (½ Teaspoon) - You can use fresh cracked or ground black pepper.
Paprika (½ Teaspoon) - Smoked or regular paprika.
