Description
A creamy, hearty soup with tender halal sausage, buttery potatoes, and gooey cheddar in a rich milk-and-cream broth. Smoky, savory, and perfect for cozy weeknights.
Ingredients
1 lb smoked turkey or beef sausage, crumbled
3 cups peeled and diced potatoes (1/2-inch cubes)
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté onion and garlic until softened (3-4 minutes).
Add crumbled sausage and cook until browned (6-8 minutes).
Stir in potatoes, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour in milk and cream, then add butter. Simmer until potatoes are tender (15-20 minutes).
Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and broth thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Ladle into bowls and top with parsley.
Notes
For a halal/vegetarian option, substitute sausage with coconut curry roast or plant-based alternative.
Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Add a splash of non-dairy milk if serving vegan (use no-chill hummus as a dairy-free cheese alternative).
