Ingredients
- 16 oz Italian Sausage
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 Cup Onions Diced
- ½ Cup Celery Diced
- ½ Cup Carrots Diced
- ½ Cup Red Bell Pepper Diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 3 tablespoon Flour
- 4 Cups Vegetable Broth
- 1.5 Ib Yellow Potatoes Cut Into Chunks
- 1, ½ Cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, add the sausage and oil. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks, and brown it completely.
- Stir in the diced onions, celery, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat the sausage and veggies evenly.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring. Add the potato chunks and stir again. Bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer on low for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and mix until the chowder is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the chowder and adjust with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley (optional), and serve hot.
Notes
Grease Control: If the sausage is extra greasy, drain some fat but keep about 2 tablespoons for flavor.
Add Heat: Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Thicker Chowder: For a thicker consistency, mash some of the potatoes after cooking.
Seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and pepper at the end for perfect seasoning.
