Place Italian sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. About 5 minutes. Set aside.
Drain all but 1 Tblsp. fat and sauté onion until softened and translucent. 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
During the last minute of cooking, add garlic and sauté, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn, for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 2-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.

Slowly stir in heavy cream and taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Ladle into serving bowls and serve immediately. Optional: cook bacon and crumble bits over the top as garnish.
