Smoked Sausage and Potato Corn Chowder

The most decadent, smoky, creamy soup. Not exactly health food, but a wonderful, once in a while indulgence. I use Better Than Bullion paste (chicken flavor) in this recipe.

directions
- In a large stockpot, Brown sausage in butter, to render fat. Remove sausage from pan and set aside, reserving fat.
- Add onions to pot, and saute until they begin to soften.
- Add carrots and celery, and saute for 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, to cook off “floury” taste.
- Add chicken stock, stirring to de-glaze pot, and to combine roux with stock, simmer for 5 minutes to thicken stock.
- Add garlic, pepper, and potatoes, simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. (don’t overcook, as potatoes will dissolve!).
- Add sausage back to soup.
- Add Corn, half and half, and cheeses.
- Simmer until hot, and all cheeses are melted, and combined.
- Taste for seasoning, if in seems bland, add Better Than Bullion, 1 tbsp at a time, if it still seems to need it, add salt to taste.
- Garnish with green onions, and serve with crusty bread.
