Potato Soup

Last week I made the best potato soup on earth.  Here is the recipe.  It is life changing.
The Best Potato Soup On Earth:
4 large Idaho potatoes
1 large white onion
Heavy cream
4 hot italian sausage links (we use turkey)
1 bag fresh baby spinach
milk
butter (about 1 stick)
salt & pepper

Peel and cut potatoes into 1inch cubes and put in a pot of cold water.  Chop onions and add in with potatoes.  Bring to a boil and boil until fork tender.  In the meantime cut the casings off of the italian sausage and brown in a skillet.  After the potatoes are done drain and return to pan.  Add butter, salt & pepper and mash with a potato masher leaving a little chunky.   Add cream and mash some more.  Add some milk until a little thinner than you want your soup.  (I like to use mostly cream and a little milk).  Edited to tell any idiots to add the sausage in, you didn't just cook it for a side dish.  Now start tasting and add more salt, pepper, garlic, whatever you want.  Allow to simmer until you are ready to eat.  Add in the spinach and just stir long enough to wilt.  Get a giant bowl and eat your face off.  We like ours with grilled cheese cause we are fat like that :)

  1. Are there people who DON'T eat their potato soup with some grilled cheese? Because that's bananas!!

    This sounds absolutely delish - why don't we have a dinner party, you bring the above, and I'll supply the cookies!!
