Preparation Steps
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

- Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat through but do not boil.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
This chowder can be made ahead of time and reheated gently. For a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
