ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER
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!

CAJUN SHRIMP, SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER
Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This recipe was an inspiration from my first experience eating a chowder.

This is my version, with of course, bacon and potatoes added to the flavor profile!

Steps:
- 1. Cook rice according to package directions but omit any oil or fat additions. Simply add whatever water is directed. Set aside. I usually do the microwave instructions and leave it in there until I'm ready to add to soup.
- 2. In a heavy bottomed soup pot (same one you plan on cooking soup in), add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook sausage until no longer pink. You can leave it in links and slice into thin slices after you cook it or you can open the links and saute sausage like ground beef. I prefer the links, it helps the sausage stand out!
- 3. While sausage is cooking. Small dice onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper and chop garlic. Set aside.
- 4. Once sausage is finished cooking, remove from pot and set aside. Add remaining olive oil and diced vegetables, chopped garlic and cumin to pot. Saute/sweat veggies until slightly softened and starting to carmelize.
- 5. While vegetables are cooking you can slice sausage into thin bite size disks about 1/4 inch thick. Add sausage back to pot with all chicken broth and frozen corn.
- 6. Simmer soup for 30 minutes.
- 7. Reduce to low and add half and half and chopped cilantro. Add as much or as little as you like just before serving is best.
- 8. This makes a thinner chowder. If you prefer a thick creamy chowder simply add a tablespoon or so of flour to vegetable mixture when it's done, right before you add broth. Stir flour to incorporate and coat mixture cooking slightly. And then continue with chicken broth and frozen corn addition from step 5. Once you add the half and half simmer for 10 minutes to thicken and go to step 6. :)
CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER
This colorful and delicious soup is high in protein and fiber while delivering only 4 grams of fat per serving. Part of the secret is low-fat sausage, which tastes almost exactly like the high-fat kind. From A Guy's Guide to Great Eating: Big-Flavored Fat-Reduced Recipes for Men Who Love to Eat by Don Mauer.

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.
