Instructions

Remove the casings from the sausage if you purchased links. Preheat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook and crumble to break it apart. Once cooked halfway through, cover partially and continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes total). Set the sausage aside and reserve 1 tablespoon drippings.
Add the drippings to the pot along with 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth in splashes, using a silicone spatula to clean the bottom of the pot for added flavor.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream, hot sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Clean the potatoes, pat them dry, cut into 1-inch cubes, and add them to the soup. Simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender (about 20-25 minutes).
Add the sausage back into the pot and stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese (if desired). Serve!
