Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove any excess grease, if necessary, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot with the sausage. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the frozen corn, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Stir well to combine and let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
