Potato, corn and sausage soup is the perfect cure for a cold day. It's a warm and cozy one pot soup that's rich and creamy, but with no heavy cream involved.
On a cold rainy or snowy day, curling up with a bowl of creamy soup is the ultimate in comfort food. A batch of potato, corn and sausage soup will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, so you can make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.

Tips on Potato, Corn and Sausage Soup
You can use any type of dairy milk in this recipe. The soup will be richer, the higher the milk fat.
Absolutely! If using fresh corn, add it to the soup along with the potatoes and carrots so it has enough time to cook.
If you like a little spice, use hot Italian sausage instead of traditional Italian sausage.
Yes! You can meal prep this recipe by making it up to 48 hours in advance. Cool it completely and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. The night you want to serve it, place it back in a pot over medium-low heat and slowly bring it back to temperature. Potato soup keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Add more milk - 2 tablespoon at a time - until the soup is thinned to your liking. If you decide to add more than 4 tablespoon of milk, you may need to increase the amount of salt in the soup by ⅛ tsp.
Yes! Freezer this soup in individual portions or one large batch for a family meal. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat when you're ready to eat. NOTE: The soup will seem to have too much liquid in it or be a little separated when you thaw it out. Don't worry. Potato soup will thicken and come back together when you heat it.
