Tasty Tuesday - Betty W.'s Sausage & Corn Chowder

If you're looking for a quick, easy soup recipe to warm your family on these cold, winter nights, I have a great one for you!  It only takes a few ingredients, about 15 minutes to assemble, and 30 minutes later you'll have a chowder to die for....

Ingredients:

2 rolls of your favorite sausage (I use Jimmy Dean "less fat" variety.)

2 cans of whole kernel corn (I use one can of each type of corn because my family prefers less corn, more potatoes.)

2 cans of cream style corn

4 cans cream of potato soup

1 quart of half & half cream ( I use the fat-free one.)

Step 1:  Brown the sausage in a skillet.  Drain and put the cooked sausage in a large soup pot or crockpot.

Step 2:  Add all of the other ingredients to the sausage.

Step 3:  Mix all ingredients and heat on low for 30 minutes on stove or if using a crockpot, until mixture is very hot.  Do not boil.  If heating on the stovetop, stir frequently.

Step 4:  Serve it up and sprinkle with a generous amount of black pepper. Compliment with a nice, warm wedge of buttered cornbread or some saltine crackers and you have a wonderful, easy dinner.

This recipe was given to me by Betty W., from Katy, TX, who happens to be having a birthday tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Betty, and thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
