Soup lovers I tried this yesterday and really enjoyed it.  Pair this with crusty bread or a half sandwich and you are all set.  

Jimmy Dean's Sausage and Potato Soup

1 lb. Jimmy Dean hot and spicy sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained

3 medium baking potatoes, cooked in the microwave in advance, cooled, peeled and cut into 1' cubes

¼ cup butter

½ cup onion, chopped

¼ cup all purpose flour

3 cups chicken broth

¼ tsp thyme

2 cups milk ( I use whole milk)

1 cup half-and-half

¾ cup Parmesan cheese

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper ( maybe even more because I like lots of pepper!)

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, saute until tender.

Stir in flour and cook on medium for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Gradually stir in chicken broth, bring to a boil; stirring frequently until thickened and smooth. Stir in milk, half-and-half, thyme, sausage and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

@Black Pony  Would regular Jimmy Dean sausage be okay?  We're not fond of hot & spicy.  I'd also use less pepper.  Thank you!

It's ok to taylor the recipe to your liking.

The original recipe calls for regular sausage so yes that would work.  I believe that this recipe is quite adjustable in several ways, you could use a different cheese, you could use lowfat milk, you could add parsley or other seasonings too.

@Black Pony I made this for dinner last night and eating leftovers tonight.  Yummy!  😊❤️😊

Thanks again!

So glad you liked it!  I think it is the perfect soup for late fall!

@Black Pony I love soups!  I made yours and it was so mmmmm mm good!  I used Jimmy Dean's Italian Breakfast Sausage instead of the hot and spicy one.  I always keep Aldi's canned sliced potatoes on hand so I used them instead of fresh peeled potatoes which made it even more of a breeze to prepare your recipe.  Thanks for sharing it!!!
