Creating Potato and Sausage Chowder is a simple process. Just follow these steps:

1. Sauté the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
2. Cook the Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Add the Corn and Sausage: Stir in the corn and the cooked sausage. Allow it to heat through for about 5 minutes.
6. Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream, and add the thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
7. Adjust Consistency: If the chowder is too thick, feel free to add a little more broth or cream until you reach your desired consistency.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating this comforting chowder effortlessly.
