CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER
This colorful and delicious soup is high in protein and fiber while delivering only 4 grams of fat per serving.

Steps:
- Place a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the kielbasa to a double layer of paper towels.
- Set aside.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of the broth and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits.
- Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth, kielbasa, corn, potato, chicken, lentils and bay leaf.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes, or until the potato and lentils are tender.
- Whisk the sour cream into the soup.
- Stir in the spinach, salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low and cook until the soup is just heated through and the spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not let it boil.)
- Remove the bay leaf and serve immediately, sprinkled with the parsley.

[email protected]This chowder is a great way to use up leftover chicken sausage. I always have some leftover sausage after I make a big batch of gumbo, and this chowder is the perfect way to use it up.
