DELICIOUS CAJUN STYLE CORN SOUP



Delicious Cajun Style Corn Soup image

This is a pretty spicy soup that I have tallied up the points for, for those Weight Watcher Members. I love spicy foods that are full of flavor as well. If the thought of "corn" soup seems odd, don't let that deter you. I have tried other versions of corn soup, but the way I make this soup removes some of the calories, by...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb johnsonville hot italian turkey sausage
2 can(s) original rotel
2 can(s) whole kernel sweet corn, undrained
1 can(s) swansons chicken broth
2 red potatoes, cut up in to small bite size portions (may substitute one medium- large white potatoe)
1 medium onion, chopped (large size will work as well)
1 -2 Tbsp minced garlic

Steps:

  • 1. Remove casings (skin covering) from sausage. In a large cast iron, or non-stick cooking pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic and sausage. Cook until sausage is done. Add all other ingredients. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes are done. Enjoy!
  • 2. Note: I like mine pretty spicy, but it is the kind of spicy that also comes with a lot of flavor as well. If you can't take the heat, than I strongly suggest substituting one of the cans of Original Rotel with the Mild version. If you find it still too spicy, than use plain turkey sausage (lean if possible) rather than Hot turkey sausage.
  • 3. For those who want to reduce the caloric value. Hot Italian turkey sausage and low sodium chicken broth can be used as a substitute. Tastes just as good.

SPICY CORN SOUP

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ears corn, kernels scraped from the cob, or 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon dried chipotle chili powder *see note
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups chicken stock
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and diced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare the corn by cutting the kernels from the cob. You should have approximately 3 cups of corn kernels from 4 cobs of corn. Save the corn cobs and set aside. The cobs will add additional corn flavor to the soup. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, then the onions. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until they are translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and chipotle chili powder and saute for 1 more minute. Add the corn kernels and saute for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the salt, black pepper, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. (If you have cut your corn fresh from the cob, place the reserved cobs into the saucepan at this time). Once the mixture has boiled, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the corn kernels from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan. While the corn soup is simmering, roast the red bell pepper. Char the skin of the pepper until it is black over an open flame or on a grill. When the skin is blistered and blackened, remove the pepper from the flame and place in a paper or plastic bag and seal. Let steam for 15 minutes. When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and dice it.
  • Place the diced bell pepper into a blender with 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and blend thoroughly for 1 minute. Pour through a fine sieve and discard the contents of the sieve. Pour the red bell pepper sauce into a plastic squirt bottle and set aside. Remove the corn soup mixture from the heat, discard the corn cobs and set aside. Place the corn soup mixture in a blender and puree for 3 minutes. Pour the mixture through a sieve and discard the contents of the sieve. Return the mixture to a saucepan, add the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, and heat, over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pour into bowls, garnish with some of the red pepper sauce and serve immediately.

ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER



Andouille Sausage and Corn Chowder image

This is a slightly spicy, smoky, hearty corn chowder. The recipe was given to me by a dear friend many years ago and the original source is unknown. I have adapted it to suit my family's tastes. If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can stir in a can of creamed corn. Serve this with cornbread or a crusty French loaf for a lovely meal, enjoy!

Provided by TxGriffLover

Categories     Corn

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup white onion, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup green pepper, chopped
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen whole kernel corn
6 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 cups cooked ham, cubed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 lbs fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced
3 cups water (or stock)
1 (14 ounce) can cajun-style stewed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (like Frank's)

Steps:

  • In a large kettle saute onion, green pepper and green onions in oil for 5 minutes. Add flour and cook until bubbly. Add water (or stock), stewed tomatoes, chopped tomatoes and tomato paste and mix well.
  • Stir in corn, ham, sausage, cayenne pepper, salt and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce heat, then simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your soup. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: This recipe is written with a medium spice level, but you can easily adjust it to your liking. Add more cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicier soup, or omit them altogether for a milder soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the soup watery.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Cajun corn soup include sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon.
