Corn Chowder with Smoked Sausage

Directions

1. Place the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle in the flour, salt and pepper, and cook the mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to blend, and then bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the mixture for 1 minute and then stir in the corn and the sausage. Return the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Add the potatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, and then ladle into serving bowls. Top with some parsley and cheddar cheese and serve immediately.
