Sausage & Corn Chowder

It's cold folks. The heat's been turned on, there is frost in the morning, last night's temperature was down to 15. 15. 15!

I made this chowder for dinner last week. It is super filling, super yummy, and perfect for a chilly night. And easy, easy, easy.

You'll Need:

1 pound sausage (I used a crumbled sweet Italian and loved the flavor. If you like spice, I think a spicey Italian would work well.)

1 onion, chopped

2 potatoes, peeled and chopped

3 cups of milk

2 bay leaves, dried or fresh

1 can cream corn

Cheddar cheese

In a large pot, brown sausage in a little olive oil. Remove browned sausage into a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Add chopped onion to pot and saute in sausage drippings.  Add in potatoes, milk and bay leaves. Simmer 20 minutes (or until potatoes are tender), stirring often. Once potatoes are fork tender, add sausage back into soup and also add in cream corn. Heat through (another 5 minutes). Serve and top with the shredded cheese.
