Step 1: Cook sausage, onion and red pepper over medium heat in a large heavy bottom pot for 9-11 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up sausage into crumbles.
Step 2: Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
Step 3: Remove with a slotted spoon; discard drippings.
Step 4: Add squash, 1-1/2 cups corn, water and chicken base to same pan; bring to a boil.
Step 5: Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes or until squash is tender.
Step 6: Remove soup from heat; cool slightly.
Step 7: Process this in batches in a blender until smooth; return to pot. (Use a towel to cover blender instead of using lid as the heat will make the lid pop off and make a big mess).
Step 8: Add beans, tomatoes, salt, pepper, sausage mixture and remaining corn; heat through. I
Step 9: If desired, drizzle servings with cream and sprinkle with parsley.
