When you're in the mood for a quick, flavorful soup, this recipe fits the bill. The inclusion of sausage helps to give depth of flavor that makes the soup tase as though it cooked for hours on the stove.

Awesome soup! This is my new favorite. Cooked it for dinner tonight, it is excellent. The only thing I did different was to brown the sausage in my dutch oven, then add the onions to the sausage and the rendered fat and omitted the oil. Just seemed simpler to do it that way and not have an additional pot to wash. Thanks for posting, I LOVE it! Jan

Not sure why anyone would be surpised that this recipe has a lot of 5 Star reviews because it it DELICOUS! Restaurant quality chowder as far as my family was concerned. I doubled the recipe, used regular onion because that's all I had on hand, added some pepper and garlic powder and threw in about a cup of leftover Jack cheese I had in the frige. Everyone raved about how fabulous this was and we will have it often this winter.
