Ingredients
- 3 cups diced potatoes washed (about 3-4 potatoes)
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and diced
- 2 cans corn, drained 15 ounce each
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 32 ounce chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless skinless, chicken breasts
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado diced, optional
- 1 cup southwest tortilla strips optional
Instructions
- In a large slow cooker , combine potatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, corn, salsa, cumin, taco seasoning and chicken broth. Mix gently. Add chicken breasts. Cover and heat on low for 6-8 hours.
- Shred chicken with a fork and add the heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded cheese to the soup, a few minutes before serving.
- Serve in bowls with additional cheese, avocado and tortilla strips, if desired. ENJOY.
Notes
- One packet of taco seasoning is 2 Tablespoons. Or use our delicious homemade taco seasoning for perfect southwest flavor.
- Shred cheese yourself. Freshly shredded cheese melts into the chicken chowder so much better than store bought.
- For a thicker chicken chowder: add 4 oz of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sour cream in the last 30 minutes of slow cooking.
- Black bean chicken chowder. Add a can of black beans to the chowder for even more heartiness.
- Stove Top. Skip the crockpot and make this on the stove top instead. Let simmer for several hours, shred chicken, continue to simmer until ready to serve. You can also use already cooked shredded chicken to speed up the process.
- Store leftover in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in airtight container for up to 3 months.
