Tips:

Choose the right type of sausage: Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or kielbasa are all good options for this soup. If you want a spicier soup, choose a sausage with a higher heat level.
Brown the sausage before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor of the sausage and prevent it from becoming dry.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will give the soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
Add some herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will help to meld the flavors of the soup and make it more flavorful.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will help to add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

This easy potato sausage soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. So next time you have some sausage on hand, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
