Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 oz turkey kielbasa, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
- 3 cups corn kernels, or canned
- 2 large russet potato, peeled and diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chipotle pepper and cook for an additional minute. Add the corn, potatoes, chicken broth, and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the soup, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately topped with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chives or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
