Fresh Corn Chowder is Perfect For Chilly Nights!

This sausage, corn and potato chowder recipe is creamy, flavorful and has just the right amount of kick to it. After a week of cold, wet London weather, I am finally back in Atlanta.

And what are we expecting for the next few days? More cold, wet weather! With a hint of snow coming tonight and temperatures heading below freezing, I decided last night that I was in the mood for a warm and spicy soup.

Soup is one of my favorite meals during the winter. Add a hint of cayenne pepper to it and it will warm you up from the inside out. Doesn’t this look absolutely delicious?

What is the best sausage for homemade chowder?

I chose to use a super hot, spicy Metwurst that we had bought for Oktoberfest and had in the freezer. Since it was super spicy already, I didn’t add any additional cayenne pepper.

If you use a milder sausage like kielbasa, though, I definitely recommend adding the cayenne pepper to heat things up a bit. This potato chowder recipe was a big hit with the whole family and required only one pot to make.
