Corn Chowder with Chicken Sausage and Potatoes

Ingredients

2 unsalted butter

1/2 onion (finely chopped)

1/2 green bell pepper (chopped)

1/2 baking potato (peeled and chopped)

1/2 chicken broth

1/2 water

2 corn kernels

1/2 heavy cream

1 flour

1 olive oil

2 links or Cajun Style Andouille Smoked Pork Sausage

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cilantro (chopped)

Directions

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potato and 1 cup of broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the potatoes are just tender, 10-15 minutes. Stir in the remaining ½ cup broth, water, corn and cream. Bring to a simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour and remaining tablespoon butter using your fingers or a fork. Stir into the soup and stir constantly until it returns to a simmer and thickens slightly. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet and brown the sausage over medium-low heat, 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir sausage into soup, season with salt and pepper, and scatter cilantro over the surface.
