Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces

  • 1 34 cups finely diced celery
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 1 quart heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Put potatoes and chicken broth in large stock pot.
  • Bring to boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, saute sausage and onion in large skillet until completely cooked, crumbling sausage as it cooks.
  • Drain sausage mixture and return to pan.
  • Add celery and saute a few minutes longer.
  • Place sausage mixture and butter in the stock pot with the potatoes and broth.
  • Add cream and extra broth, if needed.
