Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian bulk or link sausage mild or hot, depending on your preference
- 4 large potatoes (about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 pounds russet), unskinned, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound broccoli cut into small florets
- 1/2 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 1/2 cups broth chicken or veggie
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- crispy croutons optional, for garnish
Instructions
- If using sausage links, remove the casing and discard. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook while breaking it up with a spatula until brown and crumbly. Discard the cooking fat and add sausage to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Top the sausage with the potatoes, broccoli, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and broth. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, until the veggies are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the cream until smooth. Serve warm topped with crispy croutons (if desired).
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
- This recipe is great with homemade chicken stock.
