Potato and Sausage Soup

Chef Frenchflair's Note:

My brother has ranted and raved about this soup for years and I finally got the recipe from my mother. It was a clipping from a news paper article that she clipped out about 20 years ago and I can't believe that she never made it for me. It's a great filling and spicy soup and a full meal eaten with a tasty buttery bun!

Made this for Spring PAC 2011 and for our lunch. I used hot turkey sausage (italian) and added some onion and garlic (we love those two items) and cut the recipe in half. Very tasty on a cool and stormy looking day.
