A comforting and flavorful soup combining the richness of potatoes and the zest of spicy sausage.
Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized chunks.
Cut the potatoes into even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
Boil the potatoes in a medium pot of salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Test the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the sausage thoroughly to release its flavors into the oil.
In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the cooked potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
Use a flavorful broth to enhance the soup's taste.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth.
For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
Return the sausage to the pot along with the carrots, black pepper, cayenne, and parsley. Simmer until the carrots are tender.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
