Corn and Sausage Chowder image

I got this from Bruce Aidells' marvelous book "Complete Sausage Book". Not only does it have the instructions for making just about every sort of wurst, it also has recipes telling you what to do with the wurst after you;ve made it. It is also a goldmine of information on the history and lore of the craft. It is also rife with personal anticdotes of and by the author. Naturally I've modified it a bit, I can't help myself.

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons ghee (Ghee has a much higher smoking point than Butter. It's easy to make and is well worth the time and t)
1/2 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch roundels, i like andoulle, but smoked bratwurst or 1/2 lb kielbasa, work well too
1 onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 mild red pepper
2 red potatoes, skin on, diced
4 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
2 sprigs fresh thyme (1/2 tsp dried)
4 cups fresh corn (off season frozen works but not as well)
2 cups half-and-half
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch

I'm not a fan of corn, but I loved this chowder! The sausage and broth were so flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out too thick. I had to add some extra milk to thin it out.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This chowder was easy to make and really tasty. I used chicken sausage instead of pork and it turned out great. I also added a cup of frozen peas.
