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.
