PAPPY’S SOUP
(Smoked Sausage Chowder)
Feeds four
Can be doubled or tripled as necessary.
1.5 to 2 lb. Smoked sausage from Saylor’s at Allentown Famers Market
4 potatoes, peeled and diced (If red potatoes are used the skin can be left on)
1 medium onion chopped
3 cups of water
1 can creamed corn
1 can sweet corn.....can substitue frozen corn IF thawed first.
1 can evaporated milk
1 tsp. Basil (if dry) more if fresh
1 tsp. Parsley same as above
Cut sausage into small, even pieces (a small half-moon works best. Slice the sausage down the middle, then cut the half-moons)
Brown the sausage in the same pan you are going to simmer the soup in IF POSSIBLE, (see hint below) then reserve
Fry onions in sausage pan until slightly brown
Combine everything into a pot and simmer for at lease an hour (more depending on the size of the potato pieces)
*Hint: To save time, you can start boiling the potatoes while the sausage and onions brown. You can also use canned, sliced potatoes, but you may have to use 5 or 6 cans. It is not a one-to-one ratio. Be careful when simmering if canned potatoes are used. The slices may disintegrate if simmered too long. On the other hand, when that happens it leaves a thick, rich stew that you may prefer. Heck, try it both ways.
