- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley, shredded cheese, or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove excess fat if necessary. Add butter and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
