Description

A warm and hearty chowder filled with tender potatoes, savory sausage, and a creamy broth. This comforting dish is perfect for chilly evenings or when you’re craving a bowl of rich, flavorful soup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or breakfast), crumbled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Brown the Sausage: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it into pieces. Remove and set aside, leaving some grease in the pot.
  • Sauté Vegetables: Add onions to the pot and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, garnish with chopped parsley or shredded cheese.
