1 lb sausage (bratwurst or kielbasa)
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Start by browning the sausage in a large pot over medium heat. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until caramelized.
Remove sausages and set aside. In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and potatoes. Cook for 5–6 minutes until onions are translucent.
Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Slice sausages into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.
Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. For thicker soup, mash a portion of the potatoes.
Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in fresh herbs, and serve hot.
