Homemade Potato Soup Recipe w/ Spinach & Sausage
I’m not a big fan of potato soup or so I thought. When I was preggers I got a weird craving for it even though I’d never tasted a good recipe for it. I started playing around with a few recipes I found online until I got it just the way I wanted it and now…..I’m in LOVE!!!
As soon as the weather starts to get cooler (which is now!) I break out this potato soup recipe. I dare any potato soup lover/hater not to like it.
This potato soup is so comforting and flavorful. I mean seriously, can you really go wrong with smoked sausage, potatoes, spinach, onions and garlic????? All combined with creamy cream cheese, chicken broth and smokey spices to make a soup that is out of this world good! Always a pleaser at pot lucks (be prepared to give out the recipe or just direct them to my site! (smile)
I like to pair this up with buttered & toasted french bread and a big ol’ green salad. Easy, quick, and comforting meal for those fall and winter evenings.

This was a very nice change thank you so much this will be one of our new winter favorites..thanks Diva
This looks AWESOME, I will try for sure
Made this soup today for my husband who’s not feeling so well. It is delicious! I didn’t have smoked sausage so used bacon and did the whole recipe in one pot – my Pampered Chef 12 inch stainless steel skillet! So easy and only one pot to wash! I garnished with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. This is gonna be a favorite at my house! Can’t wait to make it for the kids and grandkids….. maybe even some Pampered Chef parties!!
Good soup thus far! I made it in a crockpot rather than stove and turned out well!.
Made the soup, and it was absolutely delicious, shared it with friends who loved as well.
Thank you so much for the recipe.
Will it be okay to use can spinach with this soup instead of fresh?
