Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken sausage (mild or hot)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2–1/4 cups mirepoix (or 3/4 cup each: diced carrots, celery, and yellow onion)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups chopped baby gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups milk (1%, 2%, or whole)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups freshly shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the chicken sausage for about one minute, crumbling it with a wooden spoon until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. In the same pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté mirepoix for about 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in chopped baby potatoes, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in another pot. Whisk in flour and cook for one minute; gradually pour in milk while whisking until thickened. Stir in heavy cream off the heat.
  5. Combine the creamy mixture with the soup once potatoes are tender. Gradually add shredded cheese while stirring gently until melted. Fold in sour cream and return sausage to the pot; adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve warm with hearty bread if desired.
