Method
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Chop the onion, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic.
Cooking
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the turkey sausage. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into pieces as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until they’re softened and slightly browned.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper according to your taste.
- Lower the heat and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for 5-10 minutes, letting all those flavors meld together beautifully.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your delicious bowl of Creamy Turkey Sausage & Mushroom Soup!
Notes
For a meatless version, feel free to use a plant-based sausage or skip it altogether! Various vegetables like spinach or kale can also make a delightful addition. Make sure to not overcook the soup once you’ve added the cream; you want it to stay thick and creamy without boiling it vigorously. A common pitfall is not seasoning enough—taste as you go! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If freezing, let it cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. It will keep well for up to 3 months.
