Leek Potato Sausage Soup is a hearty, tasty soup that is especially good in cooler weather. You can make it a bit spicy with hot Italian sausages or milder if you use sweet Italian sausages. Either way, yum!
Leek Potato Sausage Soup makes a savory meal.
I love soup, especially hearty soup. This Leek Potato Sausage Soup makes an excellent lunch or supper meal. I made this recipe on one of those crisp, fall days that simply beg for soup. Sometimes I use sweet Italian sausage in the recipe, but this time I was delighted when I saw hot Italian sausages in my freezer. It was even better.
Don loves creamy potato soup. I do, too, but since I cannot eat dairy because it makes my joints hurt, I substitute coconut milk. Don doesn't know the difference and he's a happy guy. The potatoes make it thick without adding any flour or gluten, so it fits a gluten free diet, too. And wow. This soup is good.

What You Need
