Gather the ingredients.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, and diced sausage; sauté until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is lightly browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture in the skillet and stir until smooth and well-blended. Add the green onions, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper; continue cooking, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and diced potatoes, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking until heated through.
Ladle into bowls and enjoy.
