How To Make italian potato soup

Step 1

Wash potatoes, leave skin on, cut up to desired sizes. (I used a variety of potatoes... you can use what ever potatoes you like). Put potatoes in a large sauce pan, add enough water to almost cover the potatoes.

Step 2

Add the chopped up onions, lemon juice and lemon zest. Cook until potatoes are almost tender and liquid thickens.
Step 3

Add the chopped up Italian sausages, milk, soup and spices. Simmer, stirring frequently until potatoes are tender and soup thickens.
Step 4

Saute or steam the red bell pepper and do the same with the yellow bell pepper.
Step 5

If using left over broccoli, heat it up.... if using fresh broccoli... steam it until bright green and tender.
Step 6

Put the soup into bowls, garnish with broccoli and the red and yellow bell peppers as in photo
