Description
A comforting creamy chowder combining tender potatoes, savory sausage, and a touch of cream, perfect for family meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef sausage, sliced or crumbled
- 4 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds), diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup corn, fresh, frozen, or canned (drained if canned)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef sausage and cook until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot.
- Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are well covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Let the chowder simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Add the corn and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Add the cooked beef sausage back to the pot. Stir gently and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the sausage warms up and the flavors combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning and thickness as desired before serving.
Notes
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Use good-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
