Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 pound sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups chicken broth Can substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 cup corn (optional) For a sweet twist.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives for garnish (optional) Highly recommended!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, over medium heat, sauté the sliced sausage until well browned. Once done, remove the sausage and set it aside.
  2. In the same pot, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add in your diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil before reducing to a simmer. Let it bubble away until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, along with thyme, corn (if using), and the browned sausage. Let everything cook together for another 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Notes

To enhance your chowder experience, consider pairing it with crusty bread, like sourdough or a simple baguette. For storage, let it cool before transferring to an airtight container. In the fridge, it will hold for 3-4 days; it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
