Turkey Corn Chowder
Description
The recipe starts by sautéing onion, celery, roasted bell pepper, garlic, and canned diced green chiles in olive oil to create a flavorful base. Chicken broth is added and simmered before fresh or frozen corn kernels are included. A mixture of flour and milk is whisked together and slowly stirred into the soup to thicken the base.
Shredded cooked turkey and shredded cheddar cheese are stirred into the chowder, along with smoked paprika, which lends a subtle smoky undertone. The cheddar melts into the soup adding richness and body. The chowder is garnished with thinly sliced green onions to introduce a bright contrast to the creamy soup.
This chowder works well as a warming comfort food or a filling lunch. It’s suitable for those with leftover turkey or anyone seeking a mildly spiced corn and turkey soup.
