The creaminess is fantastic with the meatiness of the kielbasa. I prefer spicy kielbasa to add a full array of flavors. I serve this dish with some sort of bread. My family loves cornbread with this dish.

1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 32 oz carton chicken broth
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 c frozen corn
1 bay leaf
1 16 oz fully cooked kielbasa, sliced (i like spicy but use whatever flavor suits you best)

Tips:

  • Use good quality kielbasa: The flavor of the kielbasa is the star of this chowder, so be sure to use a good quality sausage. Look for a kielbasa that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will cause them to steam instead of sautéing and they won't develop as much flavor.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The broth is another important flavor component in this chowder. Be sure to use a good quality chicken broth, preferably one that is made with real chicken bones.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chowder before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This chowder is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
