Instructions

Step 1:

Place a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage and cook until browned. Stir occasionally. Remove from the pot using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2:

Turn the heat to medium-high. Add diced onion and saute for about 7 minutes until soft and translucent. Next, add the 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Stir until melted.

Step 3:

Slowly pour 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 2 cups of half-and-half into the pot, then add the potatoes. Let it come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking until potatoes are soft and tender for about 15 minutes. Use a fork to check if they are done.

Step 4:

Once the potatoes are done, gently mash the potatoes. Leave some chunks for some texture. Add 1 cup of sour cream and cooked sausage. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
