How to Make Creamy Sausage Soup
- Yield: 2 to 4 servings
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon tallow or other heat-tolerant fat of choice, for the pot
- 1 pound bulk sausage of choice
- 1 cup beef broth, homemade or store-bought
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat a medium-size Dutch oven or similar soup pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tallow and swirl to coat the pot evenly.
- Add the sausage to the pot. Cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
- Stir in the beef broth and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese has melted and blended with the broth.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the soup is hot, about 10 minutes.
- Taste and add salt as needed, keeping in mind that the sausage and broth may already provide enough seasoning.
Tips for the Perfect Creamy Sausage Soup
- Choosing Sausage: Opt for a high-quality, flavorful sausage with minimal additives. Mild or spicy varieties work equally well, depending on your preference.
- Customize the Flavor: For added richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Batch Cooking: This soup stores beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to maintain its creamy texture.
