Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven or large pot.
- Add the chicken and cook through completely, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Pour in an additional 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan and cook onion, carrots, and bell pepper until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add the chicken back into the pot and allow to heat through.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch with the heavy whipping cream and whisk until all the lumps are gone or mostly gone. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the chowder and stir.
- Take off the heat and stir in the cheese until melted and the mixture has thickened.
- Serve warm and garnish with parsley, shredded cheese, and bacon crumbles (optional).
Notes
- Storage: Store cheesy chicken chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Make this soup in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. It will distribute the heat more efficiently and won't scorch the bottom of the soup.
- Feel free to add in other veggies that you have in your fridge.
- Serve the chowder loaded with shredded cheese, bacon bits, and chopped parsley.
