This soup is hearty and comforting. It is made in a slow cooker with lean turkey sausage, potatoes, and different vegetables. This soup is great for cold days and cozy nights because it is creamy and full of flavor.
Ingredients: 1 lb turkey sausage, casings removed. 1 onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups chicken broth. 4 cups diced potatoes. 1 cup diced carrots. 1 cup diced celery. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 tablespoons water. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Put the turkey sausage in a pan and cook it over medium-low heat until it's fully cooked. Get rid of extra fat. Cook the sausage and chop it up. Add the onion, garlic, chicken broth, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, thyme, and rosemary. Add pepper and salt. Put the lid on and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until the vegetables are soft. Add heavy cream, cornstarch, and water to a bowl and whisk them together until smooth about 30 minutes before you serve. Add the mix to the slow cooker and stir it around. Put the lid on top and cook on high for another 30 minutes, until the soup gets a little thicker. Serve hot with fresh parsley chopped on top.
