Crockpot Potato and Sausage Soup
Description
The Crockpot Potato and Sausage Soup cooks diced smoked sausage, onion, celery, garlic, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, corn, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and dried herbs together in beef broth and water. The slow cooker softens the vegetables and melds flavors over several hours. Adding tomato paste and diced tomatoes imparts subtle acidity and depth. Before serving, cornstarch is stirred in to lightly thicken the broth and hold the soup together.
Flavors balance between the smokiness of the sausage and the mild sweetness from the vegetables. The cabbage adds texture while remaining tender. The soup is seasoned with basil, oregano, dill, and a bay leaf to round out the herbal profile.
Best served hot, this soup can be accompanied by crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream if desired. It reheats well and can be frozen in flat bags for convenient storage.
