Gluten Free Living – 2014

Sausage Potato Chowder is one humdinger of a recipe. Yeah. I was trying to use up some leftover sausage and Fried Potatoes that I had frozen a few months ago. I began looking on Pinterest for Sausage Soup recipes and found this delightful recipe. Instead of using plain raw potatoes, I used up my frozen, seasoned Fried Potatoes. These are seasoned with dill weed, paprika, parsley, chives, garlic salt and pepper.

That addition alone is worth making this recipe. The extra seasonings made this lovely soup taste so wonderful. I also used my frozen, already fried and crumbled, mild pork sausage. Then I put everything in the crockpot and let it cook. After adding the cheese and evaporated milk, this easy recipe was done. Quick, easy and delectable. Yum.

I have to admit I have a weak spot for sausage and bacon. I don’t use either as much as I used to anymore. But I still love the taste they add to soups, casseroles and salads. This is one of those recipes where you could easily swap out venison sausage for the pork and no one would be the wiser.

If you just can’t stomach ground sausage, then try ground turkey or chicken. Then increase your seasonings to give the chowder a little zip. In that case, I would recommend adding some crushed red pepper flakes as they will help increase the blander flavors from turkey or chicken.

Soup season is on and it’s so nice to enjoy a bowl or cup of hot, delicious soup with Homemade Rolls or Bread or even cornbread. Ah, yes, that’s a marriage made in heaven. What’s even nicer is being able to use up leftovers in this way! 🙂 But if you don’t have leftovers on hand, then I recommend you make up a batch of my Fried Potatoes and season them well as I explain in that post.

That will add so much additional flavor to this recipe. Although, since this cooks in the crockpot, you probably wouldn’t really have to pre-cook the potatoes. Simply cube the potatoes and sprinkle the seasonings over top and stir well. Then add the potatoes to the crockpot with the carrots and other ingredients. Whatever you do, add the seasonings!

If you enjoy sausage, potatoes and carrots, then I recommend you trying them in this easy crockpot soup recipe for a fall lunch or supper soon. The taste is marvelous, and the entree is hearty, filling and so satisfying as a comfort food. For those of you with gluten intolerance, this recipe is gluten free.
