Saturday Soup

 This is one of Jared's favorite soups. He's a big sausage fan and likes his sausage diced in large bite size pieces. Your idea of diced could be smaller... or larger. ;-)

Sausage Potato Soup

Ingredients

    1/2 pound smoked kielbasa, diced

    6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

    2 cups frozen corn

    1-1/2 cups chicken broth

    1 celery rib, sliced

    1/4 cup sliced carrot

    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1/2 teaspoon onion powder

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1/4 teaspoon pepper

    1-1/2 cups whole milk

    2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

 

Directions

 

    In a large saucepan, cook kielbasa over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; drain and set aside. In the same pan, combine the potatoes, corn, broth, celery, carrot and seasonings. Bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, cheese, parsley and sausage. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted and soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.

 A nice crusty bread perfectly compliments this soup.
