Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Italian Sausage Soup
  1. In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the chopped onion and celery for 4-5 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and flour, cooking for about 2 minutes until thick and bubbly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth until smooth and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add 1 cup of half-and-half, Worcestershire sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, diced russet potatoes, and the cooked sausage, stirring to combine.
  6. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
