Lisa Sayers shares her aromatic potato soup recipe with us. A rich and hearty mix of russet potatoes, Italian sausage, butter, garlic and other seasonings means serious comfort food. Add a nice crusty loaf of Italian or French bread for dipping into this thick soup.

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1/2 red onion

1 pound ground Italian sausage

10 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

seasoning salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper or to taste

1 12 oz can evaporated milk

1/4 cup butter

1 teaspoon dried parsley

___________________

1. In food processor, puree garlic and onion.

2. Heat garlic and onion with Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until sausage is no longer pink.

3. Transfer the sausage mixture to a large soup pot. Add potatoes and water to cover. Stir in the seasoned salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.

4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are tender.

5. When potatoes are done, stir in the butter, evaporated milk and parsley. Cook long enough for the butter to melt.

Serve hot with bread or crackers. Yummy!!!!!
