Crock Pot – Sausage, Cheddar Cheese & Potato Soup

Yesterday I wanted soup for dinner and I had to cook up some Italian sausage and I was not in the mood for sauce.

So I began a search for soup or stew made with Italian sausage. After a while I decided to make up my own recipe.

I didn't eat the soup until today and I recommend you let it sit over night and let all the flavors blend together.

This is what I made it turned out really good:

Crock Pot – Sausage, Cheddar Cheese & Potato Soup

·        Ingredients

·        3 links of Italian sausage

·        1 large potato

·        ½ Onion

·        1 celery rib

1      small can stewed tomatoes

·        1 can or box of chicken broth

·        12 ozs evaporated milk

·        2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

·        salt

·        pepper

Directions:

Brown sausage and onion in a skillet. Drain well.

Place potatoes, celery and carrot in bottom of crock pot. Add sausage and onion mixture. Pour chicken broth over vegetables and sausage.

Turn crock pot to low and cook 4 to 5 hours.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking add evaporated milk and cheddar cheese.

Put all the items from the crock pot in the blender except for the broth and blend.

Add back to broth and stir together.

Do a taste test for salt and pepper and add,

  If a thicker soup is desired, add -- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water.

That’s all there is too it.

All that is left to do is sit down and enjoy it!

You can guess I bet what lunch will be today. I think when I reheat some soup I will put a little bit of cheddar cheese on top of it and butter a matozs and enjoy.
