Hearty Sausage Potato Chowder

This hearty potato chowder recipe with spicy turkey sausage and fire-roasted tomatoes will definitely warm you up on a cool evening. It’s a perfect easy dinner recipe for busy nights!

Have you ever looked at my recipe photos and wondered why the portions seem so small? “Who eats such a small bowl of soup?” you might be asking yourself. Well, sometimes I’m lucky to save enough leftovers for photos the next day, and this was definitely the case with this soup. It is so tasty! It’s very filling too, so honestly I would have been better off eating a small bowl like this last night! I ate a big ol’ bowl and may have needed to unbutton my pants after dinner. I’ll never say for sure.

It’s no secret that I love using ground sausage in recipes because it is so flavorful. When you use sausage for the meat, the recipe’s ingredient list can be pretty short because all the seasoning you need is already in the meat. I love spicy turkey sausage the best, but you can use pork or whatever kind of sausage you like.

I almost left the tomatoes out on this soup, but then I realized there wasn’t a vegetable in sight if I didn’t count the green onions. (Do green onions actually have any nutritional value?) I’m glad I decided to stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes because they added a nice tanginess to this spicy, creamy soup. If you don’t like spicy, just use a different kind of sausage to get a mild flavor you’ll love.
