Dad's Potato Cheese Soup
Ingredients
1 pound favorite link sausage, thinly sliced 1/16 to 1/8"
4 pounds peeled and diced russet potatoes
2 medium onions chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
24 ounces deluxe American cheese
1 stick butter
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
16 to 32 ounces milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In 6- or 8-quart pan, melt butter on medium-low heat with onions. After onions are translucent, add garlic and rosemary for 2 minutes.
- Add sausage and cook another 2 or 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cover potatoes with water. Change heat to high and bring potatoes to a boil.
- After potatoes become very tender, to the point of falling apart, reduce heat to low and add cheese a little at a time until all melted. Add milk, salt, and pepper and cover for 15 minutes.
- Great with saltine crackers.
