  4. When water boils, put the corn in.
  5. When broth boils, turn the heat to low and , and add the sausage (if it's done browning). Simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  6. Add just a handful of egg noodles when you have about 10 minutes left.
  7. Pull corn when it is tender, use a knife to cut it from the cob, and add it to the soup.
