Potato and Sausage Chowder
A comforting and hearty chowder made with potatoes, sausage, corn, and cream, perfect for satisfying hunger on any cold day.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 pound sausage (such as beef kielbasa or chicken Italian sausage), sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Cooking steps
- In a large pot, cook the sliced sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the corn and cooked sausage.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then serve hot, garnished with green onions or parsley.
Notes
For better texture and flavor, choose the sausage wisely and don’t overdo the browning. If the chowder is too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, mash a few potatoes or add a slurry. Reheating may require gentle heat to prevent separation of cream.
