Description
A cozy and hearty Potato and Sausage Chowder perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 medium potatoes)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add the corn and heavy cream to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add chopped bell peppers or carrots for extra vegetables and flavor.
