Sausage Chowder

Ingredients

• 1 pound sausage
• 3 cups potatoes, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups milk

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the potatoes, onion, garlic, and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken broth, thyme, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the cooked sausage and milk to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the chowder is thickened.
5. Serve warm.
