My family has an extreme love for smoked sausage. If given the opportunity, my kids would want a sausage meal at least once a week. One of their favorites is dirty rice that I make with smoked sausage. I got to admit, I love it too. I recently bought a couple of packages and then put them in the freezer and promptly forgot I had them. So, when I was going through my freezer the other day, I came across those gems. I thought about making our favorite dish, but I wanted to try something else and shake things up a bit. I must say that this soup did the trick. My family gobbled it up. Even my non-loving potato eater enjoyed it. I served it with my Pimento Cheese Corn Muffins (recipe to come) and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter's night.
Enjoy!
Sausage Potato Soup

Instructions
- In a large pot, brown sausage and drain.

- In the same pot, combine potatoes, corn, broth and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes for until potatoes are fork tender.

- I wanted my soup to be a bit thicker, so I made a cornstarch slurry and added to the soup.
