I know it is feeling like spring here, but I’m one who loves to eat soup year round. Especially in the late summer/early fall – when all of the garden produce is really good. And even though this is more of a cold weather soup, I know that even though the weather here has been nice, we still have a few chilly days in store that this would be perfect for!
I wasn’t going to post about this Corn and Sausage Chowder, but the way my husband ate this up – I knew I had to share!! My husband isn’t the biggest potato fan, so I actually was worried that he wouldn’t like this one because it has potatoes. But I believe we had the whole batch of this eaten up within 24 hours!!

I have this Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven that I use all the time. One day, I would love to invest in a Le Creuset, but I’ve had this one for years and have probably used it 100 times.

Our California weather is so weird! We’ve had lots of sun, and now cold and rain is expected for the weekend. This soup sounds perfect. I love corn and it gives dishes such a pretty color. I always keep turkey sausage on hand, so this looks like a match!
Thanks for the inspiration.
