For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet when cooking the sausage and vegetables.

This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.

    The crème fraîche makes all the difference! So much richer than sour cream.

  • Morris Paucek

    I didn't have Yukon gold potatoes, so I used russet. It still came out good, just a bit starchier.

  • Dexter Bayer

    I added a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth. It was a nice touch!
