Loaded Cheesy Chicken Potato Chowder image

Potatoes, chicken, carrots, corn and more!! Thick, creamy, rich, and wonderfully cheesy!! Fast and easy comfort food that everyone loves!!

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups sweet Vidalia or yellow onions, peeled and diced small (about 1 medium/large onion)
1 cup carrots, peeled and diced small (about 2 large carrots)
1 cup celery, diced small (about 2 stalks)
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
32 ounces (4 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups milk, or as needed (I use Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk)
3 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes (about 3 large potatoes)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
pinch cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
2 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken (use storebought to save time)
3/4 cup corn (I used frozen and added it straight from the freezer)
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese (grate it yourself, pre-grated cheese in plastic bags is resistant to melting)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and sauté for about 7 to 9 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour and whisk constantly until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken broth, milk, and whisk constantly until slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, optional cayenne, and bring to a boil. Allow chowder to boil fairly rapidly for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender; stir intermittently. At any time while the chowder is boiling, if the overall liquid level is lower than you like and the chowder is too thick, adding a cup of extra milk is okay. At the end you will adjust the seasoning levels.
  • After potatoes are soft, add the chicken, corn, and boil for 1 to 2 minutes to warm the chicken and corn through.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the cheese slowly, and stir continuously until melted and combined.
  • Add the parsley and stir to combine.
  • Taste chowder and add salt to taste. I added another teaspoon but this will vary based on how salty the brand of chicken broth used is, how salty the rotisserie chicken and cheese are, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) and serve immediately.

CHEESY POTATO CHOWDER



Cheesy Potato Chowder image

One of my goals in life is to make as many delicious things from potatoes as possible...They're so CHEAP! I absolutely could not believe how good this was. I'm a beginning cook, so it was a little intimidating how attentive I had to be to the chowder-making process, but that's just the way chowders are--and this was SO worth it. I've cooked it for everyone I know, so they think I'm some kind of fancy kitchen goddess. It's simply lovely to make on a chilly night (isn't it pleasant to huddle near delicious-smelling steam rising off of yummy food when it's cold out there?), and I like to serve it with beer bread. I often add more veggies than the recipes calls for, and have used all different kinds of cheeses as well.

CHEESY POTATO CHOWDER



Cheesy Potato Chowder image

This chowder was invented by my niece, who took a basic potato soup recipe and added some of her own ingredients. The results were "souperb"! I was a cook at the time, and I tried her recipe at work. It was the hit of the season!

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Lunch

Time 20m

Yield 10-12 servings (3 quarts).

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 to 12 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, diced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
1 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a large kettle, cook potatoes and carrots in chicken broth until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cheese, dill weed, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Add bacon, reserving 1/2 cup, and milk. Heat through. Top individual bowls with reserved bacon.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop the vegetables, dice the chicken, and measure out the spices before you start cooking to save time and ensure smooth cooking.
  • Use russet potatoes for the creamiest mash: Russet potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for creamy mashed potatoes. If you don't have russet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes, but they may not be as creamy.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the chowder. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gruyère.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

Conclusion:

This Cheesy Mashed Potato Chicken Chowder is the ultimate comfort food. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with chicken and vegetables. It's perfect for a cold night or a casual get-together. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this chowder is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
