Sausage Corn Chowder


I make this soup 3 or 4 times a year, but mostly around fall when the days are cooler and also during cold winter months.  
And it's usually always a requested food for our Annual Fall Party.

The original recipe came from a 1992 cookbook called Campbell's Simply Delicious Recipes I found at a second-hand store. 




Tips and Suggestions:
  • Use savory or zesty sausage for more flavor
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled
  • For Gluten Free soup, use chicken broth & cornstarch in place of the cream of chicken soup.
  • You can add a little more chicken broth to make a thinner soup.

SAUSAGE CORN CHOWDER



Ingredients

1 pound pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 can cream of chicken soup
(or use chicken broth & ¼ cup cornstarch)
1 ½ cup milk
1 can whole kernel sweet corn, undrained
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Dash of cayenne pepper, if desired
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Ground black pepper to taste

Dice onions and slice mushrooms

Directions

Cook sausage over medium heat until browned and well crumbled. Drain off grease.
In a crockpot or stovetop saucepan, add cream of chicken soup, milk, corn, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cheese.





Add cooked sausage to crockpot and stir all together.
In the skillet the sausage was cooked in, saute chopped green onions and mushrooms, and cook just until tender.

Saute onions and mushrooms

Add onions and mushrooms to crockpot and stir.
Heat on high for one hour in the crockpot, stirring once or twice, then reduce heat and simmer until ready to eat.
Or for stovetop, heat, until comes to a slow boil, stirring repeatedly so the soup does not burn, then reduce heat and simmer until ready to serve.



Serve soup with a few pieces of fresh diced green onions on top if desired.

Now that we're at the end of summer, our flurry of outdoor activities is beginning to slow down. I'm going to miss long summer days but am so looking forward to cooler weather, and making lots of different types of soups and stews!

"To feel safe and warm on a cold wet winter night, all you really need is soup"
~ Laurie Colwin


"Soup is cuisine's kindest course.  It breathes reassurance; it steams consolation; 
after a weary day it promotes sociability, as the five o'clock cup of tea or the cocktail hour. 
~Louis P. de Gouy, The Soup Book, (1949)
