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 recipe is perfect! It’s easy and the final product is so tasty! My whole family loves it. My husband requests it! Love this website!!
I love potato soup and also clam chowder. I am going to try to use the same process to create clam chowder by substituting the sausage and the chicken broth for clams and clam juice. You are a culinary visionary who inspires! Thank you!
This is my son”s new favorite dish but its not completely finished unless I add grandma Barbs yeast rolls. thank you Diva and thank grandma Barb for me.
Fast forward from 2012 (my last review) till today still my son’s favorite he requested I make it today so I will, It’s a Family favorite at our house, my cousin ,daughter and mom love it to as so does i
OMG….I bought all the ingredients the other day and i was so anxious to make this soup last night…First off i don’t have tv or internet so i was relying on my phone to play the youtbe video. After several tries and no luck I finally just said forget it. i didn’t remember what came first the broth or the cream cheese so i just guessed. The soup was absolutely wonderful. My 3daughters were hesitant when the saw the cream cheese but they were in awww when they ate it. So in aww that they requested i make this soup for the rest of the week. they didn’t even want me to have a full bowl just so they could take some to school for lunch. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe…by the way i didn’t have fresh spinach but i had fresh kale and it was a hit.
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?
This recipe looks sooo good. I found it on youtube. I am going to substitute the smoked sausage for Tofurky Italian Sausage. Thanks so much!!!
I’m going to make this with buttermilk biscuits!!!

This made the soup tonight for the kiddos….they loved it!..and so did I.
I have everything, but my spinach is frozen… Would that still work instead of fresh? It looks so good!
