Provided by KelBel

Categories     Chowders

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces kielbasa, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
14 1/2 ounces chicken broth
12 ounces baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup half-and-half
16 ounces frozen corn, thawed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a deep skillet or a wide 4- to 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the onions and butter to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the broth and potato and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer until the potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the half-and-half and corn and cook, stirring, until heated through.
  • Using a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup chowder until smooth. Stir the puree back into the chowder along with the browned kielbasa and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality kielbasa. If you can't find kielbasa, you can substitute another type of sausage, such as bratwurst or chorizo.
  • To make the chowder thicker, add more potatoes or flour. You can also add a cornstarch slurry, made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water.
  • To make the chowder spicier, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add a chopped jalapeño pepper.
  • To make the chowder more hearty, add some cooked beans or lentils.
  • To make the chowder more creamy, add some milk or cream. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
  • Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped parsley, chives, or green onions.

Conclusion:

Potato and kielbasa chowder is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chowder a try.
