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.
