If you're watching your carb intake this is a good recipe to substitute cauliflower for the potatoes. I actually prefer this soup with the cauliflower over the potatoes. To cut the fat/calories using half (or more) the amount fat free evaporated milk and replacing the other half (or more) with organic chicken broth is really good too. I do saute a couple cloves of minced garlic in with the onion and I'll shake in a little red pepper flake.
Made as is this is delicious. I didn't cook my potatoes ahead of time I just threw them in with the sausage and the corn to simmer. I also used skim milk and it thickened up nicely. Aside from the entire stick of butter or margarine and the entire pound of sausage this is a pretty healthy meal you know not counting these two variables...lol. Next time I'll omit the salt as the sausage makes it salty enough and I'll try a reduced fat smoked sausage. With all that said this is one cheap delicious meal.
DELICIFABULOSITY! I made this yesterday, and it is now number 1 favorite of my family. I can't believe how much flavor it has, and am glad I doubled it. Being that New Orleans leads the title, I had to add a pinch of crushed red pepper, a dash of cayenne, and a heaping tsp. of Creole seasoning, Tony Chachere's original since my husband brought it home from New Orleans recently. I read reviews and also added 4 cloves of garlic since I doubled, and a 12 ounce bag of jumbo cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp. I threw in uncooked unpeeled potatoes and the frozen shrimp and frozen corn and simmered it for 30 minutes and it was just perfect. This one's a keeper!
Mmmm... I'm eating my second bowl as I type. It's so delicious. Like the prior poster I added the potatoes uncooked in with the sausage and corn. I also added 2 cloves of minced garlic with the onion and I omitted the salt. Yummy!
i really enjoyed this! i used chorizo sausage, and added some louisiana hot sauce, cayenne and old bay seasoning. added garlic. i used frozen corn instead of canned. i used a cup of colby and sharp cheddar stirred into the soup at the end. i used 1/4 tsp of white pepper instead of black. added thyme, and used dry parsley. used alot more potatoes, did not cook beforehand. let them simmer with the soup until they were soft and falling apart, and then mashed a few. it was so delicious, i made a TON of it and it was all eaten!
This was delicious. I did change it up a bit because it was kind of bland. As suggested by prior reviews I added quite a bit of Tony's. Also I fried the sausage in a pan and used the fat to sautee the onions and make the rue. This eliminated the need for so much butter. I also used more potatoes to make it more filling. Served with warm French bread...it was ummy yummy!!!!
Delicious I did add my own changes used canned milk with a little added water I short on milk it worked great frozen sweet white corn cooked the potatoes as suggested with the Bisque. My husband said he liked it a lot. I used red pepper and we also enjoyed a little hot sauce.
I have never written a review on any of the recipes I have gotten from this sight and I use one alteast everyday. I have to say something about this dish. This recipe was fantastic!! I added 2 cloves of chopped garlic and omitted the potato(only because I didnt have any). I also added 1 tsp of cajun seasoning other than that I followed the recipe. I could have eaten the entire pot myself. My 12 year old extremely picky daughter liked it also. I will most definately make this again and pass the recipe along to others.
Very yummy. I fed my family this and they loved it. Especially on this snowy night. This meal was made on a budget and good. I used the suggestion to cook the sausage and use the fat from that to make the rue. We will be making this meal again very soon. Thank you.
Rating three because without changes this was vary bland even with using conecuh brand sausage that has a wonderful flavor. Followed recipe until end tasted final product and had to do what other reviewers mentioned added tony's and other seasonings to give it more flavor.
