This Spicy Sausage Soup was inspired by Olive Gardens sausage and potato soup
1lb of spicy sausage
About 1 ½ cup carrots chopped
About 1 cup chopped greens (broccoli, Kale, Charred greens,
ect.)
About 1 cup chopped red onion or about 6 chives
4 garlic cloves (or powder)
3 medium potatoes, halved long ways and then thinly sliced
About 1 shot tequila or ¼ cup white wine
2-3 cups stock
2 cups milk (12 oz condensed milk makes the soup thicker and
creamier, just add a little extra stock to get enough liquid)
1 12oz can diced tomatoes
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper (red flakes if you want it very spicy)
1 bay leaf
A pinch of Italian seasoning
Additional seasoning can be added upon preference

What I like to use but be careful it has salt in it. |
Add tequila or wine and stir to deglaze the
bottom of the pan. Put the meat mixture
into a crock pot set on low. Add milk
and stock, tomatoes and gently stir in chopped potatoes.

I chop mine in half long ways and then thinly width ways |
Allow to cook in crock pot for 4-5 hours or
until potatoes and veggies are all tender enough to eat.

I love to top mine with cheese
