Smoked Sausage Soup

I was looking for a soup recipe and just couldn't find what I wanted so I decided to make one up. This is what I came up with. I used the veggies and herbs I had on hand but I think you could change this to suit your preferences and it would still be good.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 slices
• 1  medium onion
• 3  cloves garlic, minced
• 2  medium carrots, chopped
• 4  medium potatoes, cut into large chunks
• 4  cups chicken broth
• 2  cups frozen corn
• 1  tablespoon dried parsley
• 2  sprigs fresh rosemary or 1  teaspoon dried rosemary
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. In a dutch oven or large saucepan, saute the sausage until browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Drain all but 1 teaspoon of the grease and cook the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently. You could drain all the grease and just add a little oil to saute the onions and garlic.
2. Stir the carrots into the pan and saute for another 2 minutes. Add the broth and potatoes. When the potatoes and carrots are nearly as tender as you would like; add the corn, parsley, rosemary and salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 more minutes.
