Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium; add unsalted butter. Once melted, add mirepoix and sauté for 5-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add baby gold potatoes, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken stock; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt an additional tablespoon of butter, whisk in the flour, then gradually whisk in milk until thickened.
  5. Pour the creamy mixture into the soup pot, stir well, then add sausage, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with hearty buttered bread.
