Potato and Sausage Soup

In skillet:
1 T. butter
1 1/2 c. chopped fresh mushrooms
set aside

In same skillet:
1 T. butter
1 c. chopped sweet onion
2 cloves garlic (minced)
I beat this with a stick blender before adding:
1 1/2 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped carrots
cook until these vegetables are a little bit soft

Add:
3 c. cubed yellow potatoes
2 c. broth
5 sliced sausages (these were chicken with spinach and feta)
salt, pepper and parsley


I served them in beer bread bowls.

Jeffry liked it, but I thought it was just another of my soups. I need to figure out how to get some more variety in my soups.
