Ingredients
- 16 ounces Italian sausage
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and chopped
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup heavy cream

- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth into a large pot along with the chopped potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender.

- Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle flour over the mixture. Continue to cook, while stirring, for two minutes. Then remove from heat.
- Once the potatoes are tender, puree them until smooth with the chicken broth using an immersion blender or a countertop blender.
