You'll love this thick & hearty potato soup recipe. It includes plenty of smoked sausage for a meaty hot soup for a cool day. #TexasHomesteader
In a large stockpot, sauté chopped onions & sausages in 1 Tablespoon bacon grease until unions are translucent. (about 3-4 minutes) Add minced garlic & sauté until aromatic - about 30 seconds more,
Sprinkle ¼ cup all-purpose flour onto onion mixture and stir to coat.
Add broth, evaporated milk, chopped potatoes, dried tarragon & thyme and salt & pepper. Stir to combine.
Put lid on stockpot & simmer until potatoes are very soft (about 20 minutes)
Remove stockpot lid & use potato masher to chop soft potatoes into smaller chunks.
Serve hot in large chunky soup bowls with a light sprinkling of sharp cheddar on top if desired.
