Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 lb bulk mild Italian sausage
5 cups water
1½ tsp Better Than Bouillon® Baked Ham Base
2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base (Reduced Sodium)
1 (14.75-ounce) cream style sweet corn
½ tsp ground sage
¼ tsp ground white pepper
3 cups half-and-half
2 Tbsp butter
2½ cups instant mashed potatoes

Directions

  • 1

    Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add sausage, cook and stir until bite-size crumbles are done, about 15-20 minutes. Drain on paper towel, set aside.

    In a soup pot, over medium heat, add water. Whisk in Ham and Reduced Sodium Chicken Bases until dissolved. Add cream corn, ground sage and pepper, stir to combine.

    In medium saucepan, heat half-and-half and butter over medium-low heat. When butter has melted and half-and-half is warm, whisk in instant potatoes until creamy and well combined. An additional tablespoon of half-and-half may be added if needed. Do not over mix potatoes.

    In batches, add prepared instant potatoes into hot soup, whisk each addition until smooth. Stir in sausage crumbles and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

    Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer uncovered until done, about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
