Servings: persons

1 lb smoked chicken and habanero sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 medium onion, chopped
12 red bell pepper, chopped
4 celery ribs, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 (14 ounce) cans creamed corn
1 (16 ounce) package frozen corn (off the cob)
6 cups chicken broth or 6 cups stock
1 cup milk or 1 cup cream
1 bay leaves or ½ teaspoon of crushed bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch salt
black pepper

1
Slice sausages lengthwise then cut crosswise into bite-size pieces (I remove the casings on mine but you dont have to do that).
2
In a tall stockpot, on high heat, lightly brown sausage in 2 table spoons of olive oil for about 3 minutes to extract the flavors.
3
Add onion, celery, red bell pepper, carrots and a pinch of salt to the sausage and cook on med/high heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are transparent (do not let the onions get brown).
4
Add in the bay leaf, basil, and black pepper at this point so that the spices have time to mingle.
5
Add in the chicken stock, frozen corn, and creamed corn.
6
Once soup comes back to a boil, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes stir occasionally.
7
Add in milk (or cream) and simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes.
8
Check to make sure the carrots are cooked, if the carrots are cooked then turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes then serve and enjoy!
9
Other veggies can be added if you have leftovers such as potato, green beans, etc work great in this soup.
10
Also, if a thicker consistency is desired, make a roux and add to soup at the last step when the milk goes inches If you like more heat, add a few splashes of habenero pepper sauce at the end.
11
This soup is great the next day, if it lasts that long :).
