Crock Pot Sausage Potato Soup Recipe
We have always loved potato soup but I needed to jazz it up a little. This crock pot sausage and potato soup recipe is perfect for those nights when you need something hearty but don’t have much time.
Just throw it all in the slow cooker and come home to dinner waiting. The ground sausage really gives the soup a kick and blends perfectly with the potatoes.
It is the best combination and our entire family loves this soup which really says a lot. Some of my people are picky and others turn up their noses at soup.
So for this to satisfy everyone, you know it is really a great recipe. 🙂
You’ll need a great crock pot to make this slow cooker sausage potato soup.
Now you definitely need a crockpot for this recipe. There are some really good ones on sale right now. If you work all day, you may want to invest in a programmable crockpot.
They are awesome because you can set them to start later, or to stop and switch to warm once the dinners are ready.
If you want to save yourself even more time (don’t we all?) then I really recommend these Crockpot liners. They make clean up a breeze. Instead of scrubbing and washing the pot, you can just toss the liner. It is practically no clean up… seriously, no clean up at all.

How do you make this potato sausage soup?
Brown the ground sausage and drain the fat. If you have a Ninja cooking system, you can brown the meat in the same pot.
Add everything else except the whipping cream to slow cooker. I like to cook it on low for several hours.
30 minutes before serving add the whipping cream. Cover and cook for 15 minutes to 30 minutes to let everything blend together.
Top with Parmesan cheese when serving! Yum! Keep reading for the full recipe.
What to serve with crock pot sausage potato soup recipe?
This meal is a delicious one pot meal and you do not need much else. I usually keep things very simple.
The soup goes well with crackers, french bread or a simple salad. I have made these Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls and they were delicious.
I love to have something to dip into the soup and get every last bit of all that creamy and delicious broth.
Tip for Tuscan sausage potato soup:
This recipe like many calls for diced onions. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.
If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.
How to Thicken Potato Soup
If you find your potato soup to be runnier than you’d like, you can easily thicken it. One of the easiest ways to thicken your soup is with flour.
To mix in flour to the soup, in a small bowl add 1 tablespoon of flour to 2 tablespoons of the soup. Whisk together until completely combine. Pour this mixture into the soup and heat for a few minutes.
If you want the soup thicker, repeat this process. Also see How to Thicken Potato Soup for more easy ideas.

How much sausage do you use? It doesn’t say in the ingredients?
There is know sausage listed in the ingredients for this Sausage & Potato Soup
I am lactose intolerant do you think I could use almond milk?
I haven’t made this yet, but it sounds very tasteful. How could I cook this in an instant pot?
Hi Carrie! This sounds yummy. I was wondering if I could use frozen diced potatoes rather than fresh potatoes.
Can you use the lower sodium Chicken Broth in this recipe? Why I am asking is I have to watch my sodium intake and this has a lot of sodium in the recipe. This recipe sounds very tempting, I may have to try making it.
How would convert this recipe to make in my Ninja Foodi?
Do I need to peel the potatoes?
Yes, you’ll want to peel the potatoes for this recipe. Thanks!
I recently downloaded the recipe for Slow Cooker Italian Sausage and Potato Soup and have served it seven times since mid November. Everyone who has eaten it have raved about it. With the pepper called for in the recipe it is a little bit spicy but most people seem to like it that way yet it is also good without the pepper. So easy and so good! One other tip is to refrigerate the leftover soup, if any, and then the excess “red” crease rises to the top in solid form and can be lifted off easily to dispose of.
This soup is so good and easy to make. My kids love this soup. It’s a family favorite!
I actually made this on the stove, and oh my, it was so good. Exactly what I was wanting for dinner!
Loved this soup and all of members of my family loved it too. Definitely a keeper if I could figure out how to print it!
