New favorite soup alert!
If you love smoked sausage like we do, you’re going to adore this soup!
Creamy potato soup with smoked sausage rounds, hearty kale and all the flavor in the world.
It’s fabulous.
As expected, I’m still on a huge soup kick! Even though it hasn’t been frigid here – at least not for any significant length of time. I’m still making soup as if we have snow on the ground.
In fact, just this past weekend I prepped two different soups to eat over the course of a few days when Max and Eddie were on a hockey trip!
Soup. I can’t get enough.
Enter this smoked sausage and potato soup, which has become one of our family favorites. Especially for Eddie, because he only enjoys super hearty soups (like chili) or chicken noodle soup.
I’m happy to say that we can now add this to the list.
And I get ridiculously excited when I discover a soup that he loves.
This is a spin on many other sausage soup recipes I’ve shared – but we’re using smoked sausage! One of our favorite things in this house. And I actually use smoked turkey sausage. It’s what I buy and what is always in our fridge. So simple and delicious. And if I’m being honest, it kind of tastes like a grown up hot dog.
Don’t hate!
Along with the potatoes and smoked sausage, I add greens to the soup. Kale or spinach – whichever I have on hand. And it’s a great way to sneak in the greens. It’s simple and delicious and easy to eat!
Think of the creamiest, silkiest potato soup – this is that, but also with smoky sausage!
It is SO delicious.
Super satisfying. Very filling, wonderful as leftovers and enjoyed by all.
This is how I make it!
First, I saute lots of onion and garlic. Some spices too!
Next, I throw in the smoked turkey sausage. I slice it, but you could also chop it up.
Once the sausage has some color, I add in the potatoes and stock. This simmers until the potatoes are super tender.
Then, I shake together some cream and flour to make a slurry. I pour this into the soup and let it simmer away for a few minutes until it’s thick and creamy.
Finally, I toss in the kale. It cooks down quickly and then it’s time to eat!
I can’t even express how good this soup is. It’s different for us – we rarely eat smoked sausage in this capacity! So it makes for a unique but super easy dinner that we all love.
Plus, did I mention that it’s so good?!

This came together so quickly and had a rich, long-simmered flavor. Served with your garlic bread grilled cheese for a cozy and fast February dinner. Thank you for the millionth great recipe, Jessica!
This was SO delicious and easy! I used 1/2 and 1/2 because I had it on hand; it broke a little but still tasted wonderful. Super easy and so flavorful.
Really quick and easy. We had un-forecasted rain today so this was perfect.
I was honestly drooling the first time I saw the pic of this soup, and then I got so excited reading how easy the recipe sounded! I made it easy peasy on one randomly cold & rainy Florida weekend. I then had to go back to the store before the week finished out, just so I could have everything to make it by the start of the next weekend. It’s now only my new favorite soup, and I’ve forwarded it to at least 3 other soup lovers I know. It’s simply DELICIOUS!!! 🤤🫶🏽😍🥣
