So I’m starting this post by apologizing. I’m apologizing for how good this soup is, and how much you will probably eat. This is not a diet soup. It is not paleo, vegan, or any of the things other than comfort. And when our first freeze hits, all I want is a nice cup of comfort. Say it with me...COMFORT. So for all the locals wearing the turtlenecks today...this recipe is for you. Lay down your forks for one day...and pick up a spoon, warm yourself up. BECAUSE this chowder is for your soul!
Ingredients:
4 russet potatoes
2 pounds breakfast sausage (I like Beeler's brand, Natural Grocers carries it!)
1 yellow onion
2 cans of organic corn
1 block of organic cream cheese
2 32 oz cartons of organic chicken broth
1 8 oz carton of organic heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper
*Notes on ingredients: Obviously you don't have to buy organic things if its not in the food budget. But there is one thing that I try to buy organic most of the time and it is dairy. And I buy organic corn every time. Bone broth would be the best thing to use, so If you have some on hand...use it! But again if you're looking at budget...there are plenty of great broths on the shelf without sugar and a crazy list of ingredients. With the sausage, I’m looking for no msg or preservatives at the least. I like the Swaggertys brand and it can be found at Sprouts. Beeler’s is higher on the tier for great quality meat. The animals are raised humanely, outdoors, not given antibiotics,and not given growth hormones. The price point between the two isn‘t much different.
Directions:
1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into cubes. Add to a large pot with the chicken broth. If there isn't enough liquid to boil them, then add water. And turn the heat up to start boiling them. While the potatoes are going, finely dice the onion and add it into the potatoes.
2. Get a skillet and cook the sausage until done. I like the sausage to be a bit more chunky in this soup. So I don't break it apart too much.
3. When the potatoes are what I call "al dente", not fork tender yet, but close, I add in corn, cream cheese, sausage. Cook a little longer.
4.When the potatoes are done, I reduce the heat to simmer and add in the heavy cream. This part is where the magic happens. All the flavors come together, and you decide how much salt and pepper this pot of wonderful needs.
AS always...ENJOY!!

To celebrate 25 years since the launch of the Lange 1, link synonymous with the link revival of the German manufacturer, 10 limited editions launched this year are offering a retrospective of link the creations produced during this period.
The rubber is thin and soft, with minimal shape-molding it tapers to 16mm where it flows nicely into a Moonshine Gold foldover link clasp. The tail runs underneath and the rubber feels very comfortable. link As an added Moonwatch treat, the inside link of the strap is decorated to look like the surface of the Moon surrounding the lunar landing site.
I think that I first link met George Daniels back in 2006. I had been busy restoring my Jeep and on completion of the project I drove it up to Ramsey (in the north of the Island) to see Brian Harrison, a paramedic friend of mine, who had a Ford GPW. Unbeknownst to me George's house, Riversdale, was situated directly opposite, across the road. By chance George popped across the road to talk to Brian, and Brian introduced me. link This was quite a surprise for link me.

Beneath the wit and rebellion that's become your signature, there's clearly a real love for horology that is foundational to your work. Do you link have a specific "a-ha" moment that changed the way link you looked link at watches?
