Sorry there’s only going to be one picture for this Chicken Corn Chowder. I was having pregnancy brain and forgot to take pictures for this one (or maybe I was just trying to hurry and finish so I could eat it because it smelled and tasted soooo good!!)
I love soup. And I love the Pioneer Woman on Food Network so when I saw this recipe for corn chowder on Pinterest, I knew it would be great. The first time I made it, I pretty much followed the recipe to a tee taking out a few things like bacon and green onions because I didn’t have them on hand.
Recently, I recently made a whole chicken in the slow cooker and had a bunch of extra chicken left over so I decided that instead of just corn chowder, I would adjust the recipe and make chicken corn chowder. It was so amazing. I was actually happy that Andrew doesn’t like soup and I got to enjoy that entire pot to myself over the week.
Chicken Corn Chowder
Ingredients
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon low fat butter
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 cup chopped yellow and red peppers
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 can corn drained, rinsed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, add chicken broth, water, butter, onions, and peppers over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
- Add both cans of corn and chicken, stir together, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add buttermilk and flour and combine well (I used a whisk to make sure flour wasn't clumpy).
- Allow to thicken slightly (3 to 4 more minutes) and then reduce heat to low.
- Add salt and pepper to taste (I add 1/2 teaspoon each).
- Let cook on low for another 15 minutes.
- Stir in cheese and allow to melt entirely.
- Remove from heat. Serve in regular or bread bowl.
Alternative options
- Add bacon, use orange peppers as well, substitute buttermilk for half-and-half, substitute cheddar/colby jack cheese with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, add green onions.
You literally can add or subtract so many options. It’s amazing and I really hope you enjoy. As I write this at almost midnight, I really want to go make some! I can’t wait to have it again!! 🙂
