It Looks Like Vomit But Tastes Like Heaven Soup

Just kidding, that's not really what its called....it's a corn, wild-rice and sausage soup. I have to say it was really easy and probably the best soup I've ever had. (next to the corn chowder at the Ivy) I started with the sausage since I use the fake stuff and it is a little difficult to time cooking wise, cut them into bite-size pieces, browned them then added 3 diced carrots and 2 diced onions. Then I added a purree I'd made with 3 3/4 cup frozen corn with 1 1/4 cup chicken broth and threw that in. Sauteed all that for about 15 minutes then added about 3 cups wild-rice (however much cooks in 5 cups water, I forget). Lastly I added about 2 cups of frozen corn and 1 1/2 cup half and half. Garnished it with fresh chives and parsley. So yummy!
I served it with my favorite salad which is a roasted cauliflower and radicchio salad. That's pretty self explanatory, but I must include the key ingredient....toasted hazelnuts. The dressing is made with white wine vinegar and shallots.

  1. This looks amazing Katie!! What a great idea for the corn soup having the sausage in there. It's so funny you used cauliflower cause I have been loving that stuff lately. It's getting really cold here so I will absolutely make this soup!!

    p.s. girls, as I am typing this I am listening to a christmas pandora station and non-other than maria carrey;s "all i want for christmas" is playing. I miss you both so much!
