Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 1 pound Ground sausage
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Dice the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small, even pieces for a 'confetti' effect.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7–8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot along with the cooked sausage. Stir everything together.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a festive touch.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, holiday-inspired soup with your loved ones!
