Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 lb breakfast sausage links, cut into slices
2 cups diced potatoes
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet Hollandaise sauce mix
1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms, cooked and crumbled
4 scrambled eggs
Optional: shredded cheddar cheese for garnish
Optional: fresh toast or breakfast biscuits for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the breakfast sausage links into bite-sized pieces and dice the potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and cook the mushrooms in a skillet until tender and crumbled. Scramble the eggs separately and set aside.
Add to Slow Cooker: Place the sliced sausage, diced potatoes, and the can of undrained diced tomatoes into the slow cooker.
Mix Broth and Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, minced garlic, and Hollandaise sauce packet until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine and Cook: Pour the broth mixture over the sausage and potatoes in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Slow Cook the Soup: Cook on high heat for 4 hours or on low heat for 8 hours until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the scrambled eggs and crumbled sautéed mushrooms. Optionally sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
Accompaniment: Serve the soup hot alongside fresh toast or breakfast biscuits for a complete meal.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute breakfast sausage with a plant-based sausage alternative and use vegetable broth.
The Hollandaise sauce packet can be substituted with homemade Hollandaise or a prepared sauce of your choice.
Make sure to cook the scrambled eggs and mushrooms beforehand to maintain their texture and avoid overcooking in the slow cooker.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can reduce the amount of broth or mash some of the potatoes after cooking.
To enhance flavor, add herbs like thyme or parsley when adding ingredients to the slow cooker.
