Italian Sausage and Potato Soup is the perfect comfort meal on a cool night and is full of rich, delicious flavors.
When it is cold and rainy here in Portland, we love to have soup for dinner. But there are a lot of cold an rainy nights, which means I need a lot of great soup recipes. And they have to be hearty and filing, like this Italian Sausage soup. I love using Italian sausage in soup. I am not a big fan of hamburger so sausage is a nice alternative. It also gives the soup a richer flavor.
Not only does this soup have Italian sausage and potato, but it is full of zucchini, carrots, and cabbage too. Feel free to add in any other vegetables you might find in the fridge. This soup is perfect for warming you up on a cold night and filling you up!
To finish off the soup I like to garnish it with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and some sliced fresh basil. Fresh parsley will work too if you don’t have basil. Of course, a loaf of crusty homemade French bread is the perfect accompaniment.

This soup looks DELICIOUS! You know we love soup at our house so I’ll be making it for sure. I also have an idea for a nonprofit… the nonprofit I helped start in Zimbabwe is doing a school fees drive for orphans who can’t afford to pay the $60 a year it costs to attend school. That would go a long way toward giving orphans an education! Just an idea!

Wow! This soup is divine! I made it today and I expect that it will be gone today! The only thing I did differently was that I did not use zuchinni and I used axlot more garlic, both fresh and granulated. I served this with french bread and sweet iced tea.
This recipe is a keeper, I will be making this again and again!
