CREAMY TURKEY-CORN CHOWDER

Creamy Turkey-Corn Chowder image

This soup works well with cooked chicken in place of turkey. We like things super-spicy, you can omit the jalapeno and dried chili flakes if desired. I also add in some chili powder or curry powder (which ever I feel like at the time lol!) also but that is optional, you can use milk in place of half and half cream but I have to say it is not as good, or use both!
