If it’s one thing I love about the fall/winter seasons, it’s all the soups, chilis, and chowders. It’s that time of year when a hot cup of anything feels like heaven going down (esp. on a chilly night!). One of my favorite savory dishes to serve up during this season is Corn Chowder w/ Sausage. It’s super easy to prep, takes just a few hours to cook, and best of all, the crockpot does all the work! Feel free to top your chowder off with whatever toppings you like. I like to sprinkle a little sharp cheddar and chopped scallions on mine.

If you have leftover soup, be sure to let it cool completely before pouring into your freezer containers. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
