Delicious sausage, potato, corn chowder

I realized as soon as I logged in that it had been a while since I posted. I remember to take pictures and think about which recipes I want to post but then it gets delayed. This is my new favorite dish. It was incredible. I already want to make it again and we had it less than a week ago! I use a mixture of hot and regular sausage in most things I make with sausage. It made this dish so much better but know that you can obviously make it with just regular or just hot. :-)


Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage (like I said I used a 1/2 hot sausage and 1/2 regular sausage)
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
  • 4 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2-inch cubes)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Clove of fresh garlic (depending on your liking)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon of basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

Directions:

  1. In a soup kettle, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the potatoes, water, salt, marjoram and pepper. (I have done this two different ways, browned sausage in my stockpot and then added or browned sausage in a frying pan then transfer to stockpot.)
  2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Add the corn, cream-style corn and milk; heat through.

**Every time I make this, I regret not doubling the recipe because we all love it!
