Smoked Sausage Chowder

I just love my Mom's Potatoe Soup but I added the Sausage & carrots & thickened it up a bit! When I cook I rarely measure so hopefully if you make this you can tweek it to your liking! It's so filling & great with corn muffins on a cold evening!

Cooking time :

1 packages

Smoked sausage or similar sausage

1 medium

onion, chopped

3/4 cup

celery, chopped

7 large

potatoes, peeled, washed & cubed.

carrots, cleaned & sliced into bite size pieces

1 1/2 cup

milk

1 cup

chicken broth or stock

1 stick

butter or margarine

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place peeled cubed potatoes & carrots into a 5 quart pot & cover with water.

* Step 2

Bring to a boil & cook until potatoes are fork tender. Carrots will be slightly hard but will continue to cook.

* Step 3

Cut sausage into bite size chunks.While potatoes cook, brown together in a frying pan sausage, onions & celery & garlic powder until tender.

* Step 4

When potatoes are tender drain off approximately half the water. Add the stick of butter, let it melt some. Then add milk & broth& stir. Add sausage & onion mixture & seasonings.

* Step 5

Add the instant potato flakes as needed for desired thickness. I use these because it easy. Alternative: (A person could add cornstarch if it is first stirred up in cold water. 1 or 2 Tablespoons to a half cup of cold water. Stir until smooth & add to soup. Repeat as needed for thickness)
