"Olive Garden's" Sausage Potato Soup

Melvin is not a big soup lover but this warmed us up tonight. It's very cheap to make and I had mine ready in just over half hour. Perfect for weeknight cooking. This is about enough for 3 or so people, so just double it if you're feeding more or want leftovers. To me it tastes like the soup they serve at Olive Garden!

Sausage Potato Soup

1lb sausage (breakfast or italian)
1 small onion, diced
14 oz. can chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 large potato, diced in small bite size pieces (leave skin on)
8oz evaporated milk
1-2 handfulls shredded cheddar cheese

In a large sauce pan or dutch oven brown sausage and onion. Drain and add back to pain.

Add chicken broth and spices, and bring to a boil.

Add potatoes, and simmer medium heat for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are very soft and some skins fall off.

Take off heat, stir in milk and cheese. Serve.

SO FREAKIN EASY!
