I have been making this quick chowder for at least a decade. It pulls together in a couple minutes and is lower in fat – but doesn’t taste like it. The creamed corn gives it the feel of cream. And yes, do use smoked cheddar – it adds the flavor this chowder needs. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread of course!
Corn and Potato Sausage Chowder
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups low fat dairy milk

1 can (14 to 15-ounces) sweet corn, drained
1 Tbsp dried chives
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 cup (4-ounces) shredded Tillamook smoked cheddar

Over medium heat, in a large saucepan stir the milk and cream corn together. Add in the sausage, potatoes and kernel corn. Stir in the chives and pepper. Heat through till hot, stirring occasionally.
