Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork sausage (mild or country style)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 3 ribs celery (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock (low sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound potatoes (diced)
  • 1 carrot (fine dice)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can corn with peppers (drained, or 1 1/2 to 2 cups Southwestern corn blend)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the sausage for about 3 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and continue cooking until the sausage is no longer pink. Drain off and discard excess fat; add the flour and stir until well blended.
  2. Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper, potatoes, carrot, and corn to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the cream and cheddar cheese to the soup and continue to cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the soup is hot.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish servings with chopped parsley.
