Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes
- 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 sliced into rounds Frankfurter sausages
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring that the vegetables are fully covered. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Using an immersion blender, blend the chowder lightly to thicken it, leaving some chunks for texture. (Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend, and return it to the pot.)
Stir in the heavy cream and sliced frankfurter sausages.
Season the chowder with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the sausages through.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
