A hearty and creamy potato soup with a touch of savory sausage, perfect for a comforting meal.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
Place the diced potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender.
Check the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
In a frying pan, cook the sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage, leaving the rendered fat in the pan for added flavor.
In the same pan, sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the flour to the onions and stir to form a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Ensure the roux is smooth before adding the milk to avoid lumps.
Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water and add to the saucepan with the cooked potatoes.
Stir well to ensure the bouillon is fully dissolved.
Combine the milk mixture and the sausage with the potatoes. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
