2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
1 lb sausages, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing, peeling, and dicing your potatoes and carrots. Chop the onion and slice the sausages.
Layer the Ingredients: Place the diced potatoes, carrots, onion, and sliced sausages into the slow cooker. Make sure to distribute everything evenly.
Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth until all ingredients are submerged. This creates the base for your flavorful soup.
Season: Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the top, adjusting according to your taste preference.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4 hours. The longer, the better for flavor development.
Blend (optional): If you prefer a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup before adding the cream.
Add Cream: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to add richness. Allow it to heat through.
Serve: Ladle the hearty soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons if desired for added texture and flavor.
