How to Make
Start by adding the frozen roasted corn, frozen sliced carrots, and frozen chopped onion into a large stockpot or dutch oven. Over medium heat, sauté the vegetables until translucent.
PRO TIP: Frozen veggies are washed, blanched, cut, frozen and packaged all within a few hours after harvest. This process allows veggies to retain their nutritional content and provide us with a great time-saving option for any meal.
If desired, you can swap the frozen vegetables with fresh vegetables. You could even make your own Roasted Corn ! Once cooked, move the veggies to one side of the pot and add the pre-cooked chicken sausage slices.
After the pre-cooked chicken sausage is browned, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Next, add the broth, soy sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
Add the pre-cooked rice to the pot and stir. You can use white, brown, jasmine, wild or basmati rice – SO many great options. Pre-cooked rice is the way to go if you are looking to have this recipe done and served in a timely manner.
If preferred, you can make homemade rice and stir it into the pot. Slowly pour in the milk and stir until combined. The milk adds a nice creaminess to the sausage soup. Allow the soup to simmer until you are ready to serve.
Last but not least, add a squeeze of lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a nice pop of brightness as a finish to the soup.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, parmesan cheese, or Greek yogurt on the top.
Chicken sausage is a time-saving ingredient to keep on hand. There are SO many delicious recipes that you can add chicken sausage links to make your dinner meals quicker and your family a bit happier.
