Sequence Step
1put 2 tablespoons of butter in a 6 quart dutch oven over medium heat, once melted, add 2 lbs of breakfast sausage (the chub, not links!) crumble and allow to cook through.
2Add onions and allow to cook until translucent. Add diced potatoes and 6 cups of Chicken Stock.
3Allow soup to cook and reduce. Once potatoes are tender, mash some against the side of the pot to help thicken the soup. Add the Heavy Cream, ground sage, and black pepper.
4Continue cooking and allowing to thicken. Add remaining butter. Add instant potato flakes a little bit at a time, stirring constantly. Allow 5 minutes between each addition to see how thick the soup is. You may add more until you are at your desired thickness.
