Another Dove's Nest favorite, from their cookbook. The cookbook says, "During the winter months, this is one of our most popular soups - a chowder hearty enough to be served as a one-course meal." I'm just guessing at prep and cooking time - the cookbook didn't note it, and I've never made the soup myself, just eaten it at the restaurant. It is absolutely delicious, and one of my favorite things that they serve.

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

I can see why this is one of your favorite items! Wonderful flavor and very easy to make. Used frozen stir-fry peppers and onions. Browned the sausage, onion and peppers together, drained the grease, added the corn then used the immersion blender for a finer texture. Followed recipe from there on....next time (and there will be a next time) I may add a diced potato (or frozen hash browns)for more potato. Thanks for submitting!

Great Soup and very comforting. Super easy and has a wee kick which is nice. My photo does not include the cheese as I am freezing and want to add when I reheat. Thanks

This is a wonderful soup. It is just bursting with flavor. I cut the recipe in half sucessfully. I made it vegetarian so I omitted the meat and used more potato soup in it's place. I also used vegetable base rather than chicken base as the recipe calls for. This recipe is definitely a keeper and Bunkie, thank you for sharing your recipe!

Bunkie, Thanks for a wonderful delicious soup! Definite keeper in my house! This is true comfort food. I served it with homemade frech bread. That is all that is needed. Great on those cold wintery nights.
