Green Chili Chicken Corn Chowder
Description
Green Chili Chicken Corn Chowder features a mix of two types of corn—creamed and whole—which provide both creaminess and texture. Green chiles bring gentle heat and brightness, balanced by mild, melted Monterey jack cheese that enriches the soup. The initial sauté of onions, garlic, and cumin imparts an aromatic depth while the creamy half and half smooths the broth. Chicken broth is added gradually to adjust thickness, making the chowder hearty without being overly dense.
The tender shredded chicken adds substantial protein and makes the chowder filling enough for a main dish. Garnishes such as extra shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, and hot sauce allow for personal flavor adjustments and an inviting presentation. This chowder suits cozy meals where a warming, savory soup is desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 2 cans cream-style corn (14.75 ounce)
- 1 can corn 14.75 ounce, sweet, drained
- 2 cans diced green chiles (4 ounce)
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese 8 ounces, shredded
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 cup chicken broth as needed
- 2 cups chicken shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Garnish (optional)
- cilantro freshly chopped
- Monterey jack cheese shredded
- hot pepper sauce
Instructions
- In a large heavy bottomed pot, or dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and cumin and cook stirring frequently until onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the creamed corn, whole corn, green chiles, monterey jack cheese, and hot sauce and stir to combine. Then slowly stir in the half and half until incorporated. Add chicken broth a little at a time stirring it in completely between each addition until it reaches your preferred thickness for the soup.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and then season the soup with the salt to taste. Using less salt will result in a sweeter soup, adding more will make it more savory.
- Serve in bowls garnished with your choice of shredded monterey jack cheese, hot sauce, and chopped cilantro.
