ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER

Andouille Sausage and Corn Chowder image

This is a slightly spicy, smoky, hearty corn chowder. The recipe was given to me by a dear friend many years ago and the original source is unknown. I have adapted it to suit my family's tastes. If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can stir in a can of creamed corn. Serve this with cornbread or a crusty French loaf for a lovely meal, enjoy!

2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound andouille sausage, diced
3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed

Season the chowder with salt and black pepper.
Remove and discard the bay leaves.
