Start by cooking your sausages. While sausages are cooking prepare your onions, green pepper, garlic and celery. Heat oil in a large pan, then add onions, green pepper, garlic and celery and cook for about five minutes. Add chili powder and cumin, stir and cook for about a minute. Add tomatoes, kidney beans, potatoes and chicken stock. When sausages are cooked cut into bite sized pieces and add to the pot. Add your corn and fresh ground pepper. Bring all ingredients to a boil then turn down the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about thirty minutes or until potatoes are tender. You can add a salad or Italian loaf to complete this meal.
