Ingredients

• 12 oz smoked andouille sausage
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 tbsp Creole seasoning
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 4 cups (for serving) cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the smoked andouille sausage into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 4

To the same pot, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat until softened, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and frozen corn kernels.

Step 9

Add the browned sausage back to the pot, along with the Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Let the soup simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 13

Serve the Southern Scream hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors!
