Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) of sausage (your choice of spicy or mild)
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups (950ml) of chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the cooked sausage to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatics. Allow to absorb flavors for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in diced potatoes, coating them with the sausage mixture. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream or half-and-half, simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use lean sausage for a healthier option.
- For a thicker chowder, blend a portion of the soup before adding cream.
- If you prefer a gluten-free meal, ensure your sausage and broth are gluten-free.
