“Creamy sausage & vegetable potato soup! Comforting and full of flavor”

Visual learner? Watch me make this creamy sausage & vegetable potato soup from start to finish! 


Every Fall my family and I (including the in-laws) go camping for a week. It’s something we’ve done for over 16 years, and now that I have kids it makes it even funner (that’s so a word so don’t even).

I’m always trying to think of little traditions to sprinkle in for my boys. There’s the nightly smores bonfires, Fall crafts, hiking scavenger hunts, tent building and of course, the “camping soup”!

I always make a big ol pot of some kind of soup when we’re camping. We just got back a couple of weeks ago from our camping trip and the soup I made this year was this creamy sausage and vegetable potato soup!

They loved it! Well, all but Ethan who surprisingly isn’t a fan of anything potato other than french fries all of sudden. This soup is so simple ya’ll. It comes together really fast and is downright comforting. I love that I don’t have to pull out any spices other than salt and pepper.

Yes, really. As much as I love spices, I can appreciate not having to pack them for camping. The savory sausage, chicken broth, fresh onions, garlic, and cream cheese does all the work in creating one tasty, hearty soup!

Notes

I cooked my potatoes in the microwave for 15 minutes. Be sure that your potatoes are hot when you add the cream cheese. This makes it much easier to mix together.
