Italian Sausage and Potato Bisque Soup image

This is one of the few recipes we have from my husband's mother. I have no clue why "bisque" is in the title, as that is traditionally a milk/cream based soup and there isn't a bit of that in it. It is one of our favorites and company has liked it, too. I'm putting it here because the strip of paper it was written on almost 30 years ago, is getting a bit tattered! Also, we usually double this recipe, as it freezes really well. This is also a great recipe to use up the leaves of your celery stalks. The leaves have a sharper flavor than the stalk does, which add to this dish.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb sweet Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, chopped
28 ounces tomatoes, diced
2 potatoes, diced (3 c.)
1/4 cup parsley, flat leaf, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
2 tablespoons celery, leaf chopped
2 cups beef stock
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon thyme (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste, and held in reserve)

Steps:

  • Heat a 4 quart pot, and add the olive oil. On Medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking up the clumps. (If your sausage is fatty, you may need less oil.) Add onion and sauté another 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
  • Add next 10 ingredients, tomatoes through lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, about 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add more lemon juice and the salt as needed.
  • Serve with a crusty bread. Freeze the left overs, if there are any.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes and it was much better. Overall, it was a good soup but I would make some adjustments next time.

This soup was easy to make and tasted great. I used mild Italian sausage and it was still plenty flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.
