Creamy Potato Soup with Chicken Sausage

This is a soup I got from my husband's aunt. I was in the mood for potato soup, so I got the recipe. I changed it slightly, adding more veggies and using chicken sausage instead of pork sausage (much less fat than RF pork sausage and still tasty!). Give it a try!

Creamy Potato Soup with Chicken Sausage

1 can chicken broth
1/2 lb. smoked chicken sausage
16 oz pkg of simply potatoes diced potatoes with onion
1 large onion, diced.
1 1/2 cups water (+ 1 cup to thin if needed).
1 can 98% FF cream of celery soup
2 cans 98% FF cream of chicken soup
2 cups skim milk
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 can cannelini beans (I did not add this but I would next time, they would be amazing in this soup...and add lots of fiber!).
1 tsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)

Dice up sausage, cook in 5 qt dutch oven with 1 tsp EVOO.
Add chicken broth, potatoes, onion, carrot, celery, and water. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer for 30 min. Add soups and milk. Serve when hot.
Serving size: About 2 cups. WW Points Plus:
