• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the sausage from its casing (if applicable) and brown it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes, dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots, and slice the celery stalks. Mince the garlic as well.

Step 3

In a 6-quart crock pot, add the browned sausage, diced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients. Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.

Step 6

About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream. Let it heat through while the soup continues cooking on low.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with crusty bread or your favorite crackers.
