Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 1/2 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/4 cups wild rice (about 7 1/2 ounces)
6 1/4 cups frozen corn kernels (about 2 1/2 pounds) thawed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 carrots, peeled, diced
2 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups half and half
Chopped fresh chives or parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 5 cups broth to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add wild rice and simmer until all liquid evaporates and rice is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend 3 3/4 cups corn and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth in processor until thick, almost smooth puree forms. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and stir 3 minutes. Add remaining 6 cups chicken broth and bring soup to simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup 15 minutes.
  • Add cooked wild rice, corn puree and remaining 2 1/2 cups corn kernels to soup. Cook until wild rice is very tender and flavors blend, about 15 minutes longer. Mix in half and half. Thin soup with more chicken broth, if desired. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Soup can be prepared 2 days ahead. Refrigerate until cold; cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm soup over medium-low heat before continuing.)
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with chives and parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Type of Corn: Fresh, frozen, or canned corn can all be used in this soup. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob before cooking. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the soup. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before adding it to the soup.
  • Use High-Quality Sausage: The type of sausage you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. Choose a sausage that is flavorful and has a good balance of spices. Avoid using bland or low-quality sausage.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup bland and watery.
  • Season to Taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve with Cornbread or Crackers: Cornbread or crackers are the perfect accompaniment to corn and sausage soup. They help to soak up the broth and add a delicious crunch to the soup.
