Today, I decided to bring you in the kitchen with me as I made some homemade Potato Soup.
This particular soup uses Conecuh sausage which is made right here in Alabama. If you do not have access to that variety, you can simply use your favorite smoked sausage. (Or order some from their website!)
Below is a printable version of the recipe, just as you saw it in the video.

Potato and Sausage Soup
Ingredients
- 1 c diced onion
- 1 Tb butter
- 1 lb Conecuh hickory sausage, or other smoked sausage, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 2 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cubed (washed and unpeeled, unless you really hate potato skins)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 c beef broth
- 1 c heavy cream
- 3 c fresh spinach leaves
- 3 Tb tapioca starch, or corn starch
- 1/3 c cold water
Instructions
- Combine the butter, onion, and sausage in a Dutch oven and cook it over medium heat until the onion is tender and the sausage is slightly golden.
- Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
- Add in the potatoes, beef broth, cream, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender.
- Add in the spinach and cook for a couple more minutes.
- In a small glass, whisk together the tapioca starch and the cold water until it is smooth. Add this slurry to the soup. Cook for a couple minutes while the soup thickens.
- Enjoy!

Note: I no longer eat pork, however I am leaving recipes like this one up for those who enjoy it. Many pork recipes can be easily converted to turkey or chicken recipes, with little or even no other changes. Recipes with bacon or sausage can use alternatives like beef or turkey bacon. Many of those recipes are being updated with the changes. Article: Why I Quit Eating Pork
