Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage, removed from casings
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.

- In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk the milk into the roux until smooth and thickened.
- Pour the milk mixture into the potato and sausage mixture. Stir in the heavy cream.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
