Sausage Potato Soup is so easy to make, creamy and delicious. This Potato and Sausage Soup is loaded with Italian sausage, simple vegetables and of course cheese.
In a large 6 quart pot over medium high heat brown the sausage for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the onions, carrots and celery. Continue to cook and stir until the onion is just translucent about another 2-3 minutes.
Add in the garlic, basil, parsley, salt and black pepper and stir to combine.
Next, add in the potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a boil and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
In a separate bowl combine the milk and cornstarch. Pour into the soup while stirring. Bring the soup back to a slow boil and continue to stir until the soup thickens.
Turn off the heat and add in the cheese, stirring until melted and combined.
Keep the soup warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally to keep the cheese and milk from burning.
