Notes

  • This potato soup uses pork sausage also known as breakfast sausage.
  • Only use enough water to cover the vegetable mixture in the saucepan. The water doesn't get drained, and using too much water will result in a thin soup.
  • Substitute in Italian sausage or spicy breakfast sausage, if desired.
  • Peeling the potatoes before dicing is optional.
  • Margarine or shortening can be used instead of butter.
  • Nutmeg is added to taste. Start with one shake and add up to three shakes or leave it out if desired.
  • Be sure to properly season with salt and black pepper to taste.  Forgetting salt will results in a bland pork sausage soup.
