Sausage Corn Chowder

I don't know where she found this recipe, but it's from my mom. This soup is a huge hit with my entire extended family. It's creamy, filled with the goodness of sausage and potatoes. Perfect for autumn, paired with a crisp salad, bread and a glass of milk.

What you need:

1 pound sausage
3 potatoes, cubed and boiled (~20 minutes separately)
1 (11oz.) can evaporated milk (OR, I used equivalent amount of 2%)
1 can kernel corn*
1 can cream corn*
Tabasco, just a dash or to your liking
salt, to taste

*I don't like the taste of canned corn, so I used about 2-3 cups frozen for both of these. You don't have quite as much liquid, so add some water or more milk to the soup after it's all mixed together.

In a large soup pot, brown the sausage (you can add some onion if you want, but we have onion issues here at my house, so I sometimes use onion powder). Add the cooked potatoes, milk, corn and Tabasco. Stir it all up and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer 30 minutes. Taste to add salt, sometimes sausage can be really salty, so I add it after about 15 minutes of cooking time.

Enjoy!

Check back here periodically, I'll be adding pictures as I make these things again. I never remember to take them while I'm making them!
