Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb halal turkey or beef sausage, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and brown for 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 12–15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Return the sausage to the pot and stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Add spinach if using and simmer for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
- Leftovers refrigerate well for 3–4 days.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or milk for the cream, and/or use part-skim cheddar.
- Make sure sausage and broth are gluten-free if you need a gluten-free option.
- To freeze, cool completely and store in airtight containers for up to 2 months (note: dairy may separate when thawed; whisk gently to re-emulsify).
