Corn and Sausage Soup

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 1 hour YIELD: 16-18 servings (about 5 quarts).
I created this recipe about 12 years ago when I received ab abundance of fresh sweet corn from friends. The soup is easy to make and has always been a big hit with family and friends. I usually serve it with bread and a tossed salad.

  • 1/2 cup each chopped green pepper, sweet red pepper and celery

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 packages (16 ounces each) frozen corn
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) Italian diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons each dried basil, oregano and thyme

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
