Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Onion
- 1 to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. Finely dice the onion.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté in the rendered sausage fat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the frozen corn and cooked sausage. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors and heat the corn through.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with fresh herbs (optional), and enjoy!
