Potato Sausage & Cheese Chowder
While my step daughter was down here living with us, she had to have some periodontal work and she could only have liquids and soft foods for the first few days after. I knew she liked potatoes so I figured a potato soup would be perfect but I did not just want it to be regular boring potatoes and milk so,together and came up with this soup. It turned out to be her favorite thing I made.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In large pot, brown chopped bacon till crispy, then remove to paper towel to drain.
- 2
In same pot, keep the bacon grease and start to lightly brown sausage that is cut into 1/2 inch pieces then cut in half. Along with cubed ham.
- 3
Once meat has cooked for a minute or two add in chopped up onion, celery and garlic and jalapeno. Saute with meat till veggies are tender. Add in diced potatoes and saute for a few minutes, this helps incorporate more flavor into the potato to me.
- 4
Add in chicken broth and dried seasonings & can drained corn. Stir to incorporate. (If using red I like to leave skin on)Medium diced.
- 5
If needed add some water or more chicken broth to cover potatoes then bring potatoes to a boil then lower to low and once potatoes are fork tender.
- 6
Lower heat to lowest setting and add in half & half, soup,cheeses and simmer for about 20 minutes. Top with cooked bacon, shredded cheese and green onion. Serve hot

**SUBSTITUTES**--If you do not like spicy, you can leave out one or more the jalapeno, Cajun seasoning, and for sausage & cheese you can use mild sausage, I like kielbasa and for cheese you can do Mexican blend or any cheese you like over the pepper jack.

SAUSAGE, POTATO, AND CORN CHOWDER SAUSAGE, POTATO, AND CORN CHOWDER
Its crockpot season …. My first soup of the season well chowder . Because potatoes are not cheap anymore i went to canned potatoes for my soups, it also cuts down the cooking times. When i made this i cut down my broth to 2 cups to cut down the recipe for 4 ppl so thats why it might not look the same when you made it. ( i was also low on my better than bouillon)

Sausage and sweet corn chowder Sausage and sweet corn chowder
I'm a little conflicted about this recipe. On the one hand, it's pretty fantastic. Like a warm, sweet and savoury hug to your belly. On the other hand, it's the first true "cold-weather" recipe I've posted since the end of summer. So, yeah, bye-bye sunshine, and hello cold and drizzle. Feelings aside, this dish is a great way to use up those spare cans of corn loitering on your pantry shelf. We had enough on ours to last through the apocalypse, which is a little strange because I don't really like canned corn, at least versus frozen corn. Regardless, it was time for a few of those cans to go. Because I had no intention of actually using the canned corn kernels (say that five times fast), I simply blitzed and strained them instead to extract their milk. If you think this is wasteful, feel free to use the canned corn and skip the frozen corn. You'll also need to bump up the liquid with a little extra stock or milk. You may lose some silky sweetness from the missing corn milk, but the chowder should still come out just fine.
