Creamy Chicken Sausage Vegetable Chowder

This is such a delicious recipe. Creamy Chicken Sausage Vegetable Chowder is made with chicken sausage instead of pork. It has a mixture of assorted veggies in a thick, creamy base. The seasoning is excellent and because I don’t use any flour to thicken the soup, it’s also gluten free.

I took a meal to a friend in January. She had a squamish cell carcinoma removed from the top of her head. I dropped off a pot of this amazing chowder, along with Jalapeno Bacon Cornbread and an Easy Cherry Crisp. Yes, they loved everything. While they are not hard to please where food is concerned, it’s always nice to know the food tastes good. 🙂 I had little nibbles of everything and thought all of it turned out quite well too.

I was trying to clean out refrigerators, freezers and my pantry back in January in anticipation of a move. I was actually trying to use up several quarts of half-and-half I purchased before my husband needed to go on a lower cholesterol diet. I found the chicken apple sausage in the freezer along with several frozen veggies. So it was helpful to use those things up as I tried to clear out everything before we moved.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever tried chicken sausage before but this stuff is really good. It flavored the chowder wonderfully and provided a little pop to give the chowder a little punch. If you like a hot bowl of soup on cold, winter days, this one is mouthwatering.

I used all these ingredients except the flour. I didn’t think the chowder needed any more thickening.

Creamy Chicken Sausage Vegetable Chowder is chocked full of meat and veggies. It's a hearty, gluten free soup that's a "meat and potatoes" recipe but in soup form. This delicious chowder is a terrific one-dish meal to warm you up on cold, winter nights. It's made with chicken sausage so it has a little pop to the recipe without being overwhelming. Our company loved this chowder!
