Cajun Chowder

Directions

1. 1
   In a soup pot, combine the roasted garlic butter, oil and onions.
2. 2
   Saute until onions are tender but not browned.
3. 3
   Add potatoes and water.
4. 4
   Cook until potatoes are fork tender but not mushy.
5. 5
   Add the mixed vegetables, half & half, black pepper, corn and sausage.
6. 6
   Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened. This will probably take about 8 to 10 minutes.
7. 7
   If the chowder seems to thicken too much, simply add a little more half and half or water. Taste and add salt, as needed.
8. 8
   I usually add about 1 teaspoon to my pot of chowder but always taste before adding salt and add a little at a time until you get it just right for your palate. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
