Soup makes a lovely dinner if you use hearty ingredients. It can also make a tasty appetizer, but this one is rich and hearty, ideal for an evening meal, especially in cold weather
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat on the stove.
Saute the sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic to the pot and saute until becoming tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the potatoes to the pot. Simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes).
Return the sausage to the pot along with the milk, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
You can store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
