Potato Soup With Lemon Thyme

I love the flavor of lemon thyme, which is milder and brighter than traditional thyme. I always look for it in the supermarket and, in the spring, I usually buy a plant at my local garden center to use all summer! This makes a nice hearty soup. Sometime, I will substitute diced cooked ham for the sausage, which is just as nice.
