I left out the sausage, added chopped celery [about 8 ribs] and used Milnot for the condensed milk. Awesome!

Good soup; I had a little one eating so I had to cut back on the cayenne pepper.

This deserves a 5+. It is exactly like the Olive Garden soup that makes their soup, salad, and breadsticks my husband's favorite meal eating out. When I was looking for the perfect soup for the rainy week of weather we were getting I found this. It probably saved his co-workers alot of grouchiness. I used Johnsonville brats as they are his favorite. I also left half the skins on the potatoes to give it some depth and contrast. The garlic and onions were crushed and minced instead of processed to keep the cellular walls intact to preserve the flavor(over processing can break the cell membrane and chenge the flavors). Served with a crusty bread and garden salad its easier than waiting in line for 30mins at Olive Garden and just as fulfilling.

This was pretty good. I used spicy sausage which turned out well but a little too chewy inside the soup. I think someone else's suggestion of using ham, hamburger or even something like shredded turkey or ground boca might be better.

My husband loves this soup. I try to add less liquid because he likes his soup thicker than how the original recipe turns out. Spicy, very liquidy, and chunky!

definately have to cut down on the cayenne next time I make this 2tsp was more than enough for us. I took the suggestion from another review to use chicken stock instead of water and cut the butter to 2TBS and used reduced fat milk. It was a big hit with my spicy loving guys!

This was awful! I drained the grease/fat off the sausage---and it was still too greasy! Maybe it is just us, but we don't want to feel the burn--heartburn, that it for this pathetic soup. I will never make this again.

My husband and I really enjoyed this. I only made a small change, and used Kielbasa instead of sausage. Then added some Itallian seasoning. I think it could use something else in it, but otherwise was really good.

Yummy! I substituted ham for sausage and added some chopped carrot, also mashed about a 1/4 of the potatoes and added them back to the soup with a little Wondra flour to thicken it just a tad. Didn't skimp a bit on the cayenne pepper, in fact may have added a bit more than the recipe indicated and it was perfect! Definitly recommend for these chilly autumn days! Thank you Pam!

This is good and spicy! I changed it up a bit by using pre cut potatoes from the freezer section and adding more cayenne. We like it hot at our house! Quick and good, especially in for winter.

The only thing I did not add is the cayenne because I didn't have any! I used more sausage than called for (1/2 mild and 1/2 hot Italian). I used a stick blender to do a brief puree. Delicious! My dad loved it too. Thank you!

This is awesome with homemade bread! I didn't use any cayene because I used spicy italian sausage. I also didn't bother blending my garlic and onion I just added it crushed and chopped respectively. The second time I made this I used only 2 Tbs of butter and reduced fat evaporated milk, no one noticed.

I thought this soup was great but the rest of my family thought it had too much of a kick. I reduced the cayenne pepper to 2 tsps, added a celery stalk and 2 carrots (chopped) and when I added the butter and evaporated milk, I added 6oz Velveta cheese. Next time I make it, I'll reduce the cayenne even more (1 tsp)so that my family will enjoy this more.

This was easy and filling. I omitted the onions and used less cayenne pepper. I also cut the recipe in half and we still have tons leftover. I think next time I will use less water to make it more creamy. Overall very good and satisfying!

Great recipe! I used sweet Italian turkey sausage and added celery and carrots. Adding a pinch of crushed red pepper made the soup delicious and spicy. Can't wait to make it again. mmm...

I'm a lover of any kind of spicy foods, and also soups. This combined both for me and I thought it was great. Reminded me a lot of a soup that Olive Garden serves. I didn't add as much sausage to the recipe to cut down on fat, but followed the recipe otherwise. I'm considering adding a touch of chicken soup base next time for a little extra flavor. I recommend trying this for a different soup.
