This creamy comforting chowder is thick with potatoes, carrots, green beans and corn. My mother served it on chilly evenings with warm French bread. Leftovers, if there are any, taste just as good and make a great lazy-day lunch. -Sara Phillips, Topeka, Kansas

Country Sausage, Corn and Potato Chowder image

My family loves country style sausage and creamy thick chowders, so I decided to make this tasty sausage chowder..... the best of both worlds.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb country style sausage, browned and crumbled (i use bob evans in a "tube")
1 small onion, chopped
2 pkg (2.75 ounces each) country sausage gravy mix (i use pioneer brand, but any sausage gravy mix will work)
4 c half and half
3 1/2 - 4 c whole milk
1 pkg (12 ounces) frozen corn, thawed (or 3 ears fresh corn, cooked and cut off the cob)
1 pkg (4.2 ounces) dehydrated shredded potatoes (rehydrated) (i use hungry jack in a small "milk carton" found in the instant mashed potato section of your grocery store)
1/4 c diced roasted red peppers
1 tsp dried parsley flakes

Steps:

  • 1. Place a 4-5 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Crumble the sausage into the Dutch oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, breaking meat up with a spoon as you go, until browned.
  • 2. Add the onion, mix well and cook another 3-4 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the gravy mix and the half and half. Mix well with a wire whisk. Add to the meat mixture and mix well. Stir often until thickened and add 2 cups of the whole milk. Cook until heated thru.
  • 4. Add the corn, potatoes, roasted red pepper and dried parsley flakes. Mix well. Cook until thickened and add the remaining 1 1/2 to 2 cups of whole milk. Mix well.
  • 5. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  • 6. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and some chowder crackers on the side.
  • 7. PLEASE NOTE: you may have to adjust amounts of shredded potatoes and liquid to make this chowder to your desired consistency ..... I, personally, love really thick chowders ....... but, adjustments can easily be made. Either way ..... it's delicious and satisfying.

  • add later

Tips:

- For a richer chowder, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. - If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender in batches. Just be careful not to overfill the blender, and hold the lid down with a kitchen towel to prevent splatters. - To make the chowder ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe, then let it cool completely. Store the chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chowder over medium heat until warmed through. - To add a smoky flavor to the chowder, use smoked bacon or smoked sausage instead of regular bacon or sausage. - For a vegetarian version of the chowder, omit the bacon or sausage and add extra vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers. - Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
