- Cook Italian sausage (with casings removed) separately in a skillet.
- When nearly done add garlic to the pan and cook until sausage is done and the consistency of ground beef.

- When the potatoes have softened, gently press some of them to the side of the pan to thicken the soup; leaving some whole.
