Creamy Sausage Pepper and Onion Soup

Author: Diane Schmidt - createdbydiane.com

Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 cup diced peppers any color
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 lb gold potato cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 links sausage cooked and sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 cups chicken broth or water and chicken flavor, I add more chicken flavor for a richer taste about 1 1/2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • In a 5-6 quart saucepan saute onion and peppers with a tablespoon of oil.
  • Meanwhile, cook sausage in a separate pan.
  • Add flour then stir to combine.
  • Slowly pour in milk and stir to create a thick sauce.
  • Add in chicken broth (or water and chicken flavor) and bring to a boil.
  • Add in potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add in cabbage and carrot these don't need to cook really they are better left crunchier for a better texture.
  • Slice sausage, and add that to the soup along with crushed red pepper, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • If the soup is not thick enough, while it's boiling add 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup cold water and stir it'll thicken quickly. Alternatively, you can use all milk in this recipe and add chicken flavor/bouillon or add some heavy cream. It's also great with a cup of grated cheese added in.
