Just about anyone who is reading this post is experiencing colder-than-usual temperatures. A hot bowl of soup can really hit the spot on a cold winter day. I made this chowder a few weeks ago and happened to take a picture of it. I thought this would be a perfect day to share the recipe!
Hearty Corn Chowder
1 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp. each)
4 cups frozen corn (I had fresh frozen I picked this summer)
chopped onion to taste
1.5 cups thinly sliced celery
1.5 cups diced potatoes
1 pound cooked bulk sausage (I use the Jimmy Dean's natural variety as it is so lean)
4-5 tablespoons flour
2- 2.5 cups milk (I use 2 cups whole)
Combine chicken broth, salt and pepper in large pan. Stir in corn, chopped onion, celery and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add cooked, crumbled sausage.
In a bowl, whisk together flour and milk and gradually pour into soup. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until desired consistency is achieved. (I prepared ours thick as that is how we prefer it, but you can adjust the amount of milk and flour to make it the way you like!)
