Potato & Smoked Sausage Soup

Makes 6 servings at 7 WW smart points each

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced small
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 2 lbs white potatoes – washed, peeled, diced into ½ inch cubes (I used russet)
• 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 4 links of Gilbert’s Craft Sausage Andouille Chicken Sausage, diced into ½ inch cubes
• 1 cup 2% milk
• Green onion to garnish, if desired

Instructions

• Heat oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add onion along with the salt and pepper and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add chicken broth and diced potatoes and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a low boil and let cook until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes (check doneness with a fork).
• Using a wire whisk lightly mash some of the potatoes in the pot. (I mash about ⅓ of the potatoes because I like to have chunks and the potatoes will continue to break apart as you stir.)
• Stir in diced sausage and cook on low for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in milk, cook for another 5 minutes.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Enjoy!
