Creamy corn and sausage chowder. Perfect for lunch or dinner. This comforting soup is great for summer or cool fall nights.
This soup is so comforting. I’m a sausage fan. For breakfast, for pizza topping and now in soup. I love it. This soup makes a meal for me. Perfect served along with a slice of bread and small salad.
On a side note I just found this bowl at Home Goods, one of the few times I’ve been to that store. Can you believe I left there spending less than $20? Sometimes I amaze myself. Have you ever been there? It’s a treasure trove for the home.
So that’s why it’s simply amazing to walk out of there with some cash left over.
I love this bowl so much that you may see 688 new soups on here in the next few weeks. That’s a lot of soup. How about 68 new soups? Think I can come up with that many? I assure you I can. We love soup. Have you seen my other soup recipes? We’re a little obsessed! But that’s okay. We’re okay with it. So you can be too. *wink*
This soup is versatile of course. Feel free to swap out the sausage for another favorite meat or skip it all together. Feel free to add various other veggies too. Make it your own!
Thanks for being here friends!
Til we meet and eat again,

I absolutely love corn chowder, and the addition of sausage is a fantastic idea!
Thanks Becca! We love it here too.
Oh my word the corn has just been amazing this year! Is it weird that I want to eat this soup for breakfast???
It has! I love fresh corn and I am so not ready for corn season to be done…or summer…or flipflops…
Happy Friday!
Corn chowder is one of my favorite fall-time soups! Yours looks positively DREAMY, Melanie! I can just picture any of your gorgeous breads alongside a hot bowl of this. 🙂
This soup sounds ah-mazing in looks mouthwatering in this bowl. This is a gorgeous bowl indeed! I used to go to HomeGoods all the time – but haven’t been in a little while – thanks for the reminder – hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I’m so amazed by this soup, Melanie! It looks incredible! I’m a huge chowder fan but have never made it myself. I love that you threw in both corn and sausage…a dish my husband would go crazy for! Pinned!
Nothing better than a good comfort chowder on a cold rainy day! Its not cold or rainy yet but I am soo gonna make this soup!
This looks amazing and your pictures are beyond pretty! I pinned this to add to our Fall menu, can’t wait to dive into this!
Oh wow, this sounds incredible.
This will keep you warm during the winter months!
This sounds amazing Melanie! We are big soup lovers, too — mostly because it’s an excuse to eat copious amounts of bread and butter! And it’s kind of healthy, right? 🙂
What a delicious, hearty soup! I don’t care if it’s hot outside, I’d so be in for a bowl of this right now! Pinning. 🙂
This soup sounds like deliciousness itself! And yes, I would be using this beautiful blue bowl for every recipe if I were you!
putting this on my list of soups to try this fall/winter. can’t go wrong with a good chowder, but i usually stick to fish or chicken. never tried with sausage!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you get a chance to try it!
I love Home Goods… a little too much haha. I always spend way too much money when I go there! And totally loving this soup. It looks SO good! Pinned 🙂
Definitely a great and dangerous place to be. 🙂
This is the perfect soup to transition from summer to fall! Still a little summery from the corn, but nice and hearty with the sausage. I love shopping at Home Goods. The bowl is beautiful. I always think blue looks complimentary to food!
I love the color too. Maybe I’ll find some matching pieces when I go back. Although I do try not to go there because well I tend to not have the ‘extra’money to spend.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey! I’m Lexi from Sempre Dolce – I just wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog award – if you don’t wish to participate, that is perfectly fine, I just wanted to let you know! 🙂
Thanks for the nomination Lexi! Have a great day.
I definitely would come out of Home Goods with a much larger bill than that! Such a pretty bowl, though, and a fabulous soup to put in it!
I love comforting soups like this, and I bet the sausage gives it so much flavor!
This looks amazing Melanie! Love corn chowder and it sounds perfect for this time of year with the cooler evenings. Love the pretty bowl too 🙂
I love soups and this looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Lisa! Hope you enjoy it!
Fall in a bowl. Yum! I could go for a bowl of this right now. It’s a bit chilly in the Midwest! In years’ past, I’ve done Soup-er Saturdays, where–you guessed it–we have a different soup each week. I’ve done it Oct.-Mar. A fun thing to get us through the cold-weather months.
HomeGoods is a dream store. I’m always amazed by my finds. Things I didn’t know I needed. 😉
