Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 31

For the chicken:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced into bite sized pieces
Freshly ground salt and pepper
For the corn chowder:
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced (can also use 1 seeded jalapeno)
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cups diced yukon gold potatoes
5 cups fresh sweet corn off the cob (can also use frozen)
1 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne (only if you like a little heat)
2 cups milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk, but dairy milk or coconut milk would also work)
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
⅓ cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
Juice from ½ lime
To garnish:
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Scallions
1/2 cup fresh diced cilantro
Diced avocado
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once chicken is done cooking, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add in onion, garlic, poblano, red bell pepper, potatoes and corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften a bit.
  • Next stir in spices and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas, then slowly stir in the milk, broth and yogurt (or sour cream), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • To give a creamy texture, blend approximately half of the soup (BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!) then return to the pot. Stir to incorporate and then taste and adjust seasonings -- adding in more salt and pepper if necessary. You can blend more if you like a creamier soup, but I love a little texture. Finally stir in the chicken, black beans and lime juice.
  • To serve, garnish with shredded cheese, scallions, cilantro, avocado and a swirl of sour cream (if not vegan). Makes 6 servings.

Time 1h10m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 22

10 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 large jalapeno chile pepper, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
5 cups Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth
3 ½ cups Yukon gold potatoes, 3/4-inch dice
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
3 cups frozen corn
3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
¼ cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and slightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon pieces on paper towels. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon grease from pot.
  • Melt butter in the pot with the remaining bacon grease over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Sautee until just softened, 5 or 6 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Whisk in flour and stir until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth, stirring to prevent flour from clumping. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and green chilies; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 12 minutes
  • Stir in frozen corn and chopped chicken. Add 1/2 cup of cooked bacon pieces. Add half and half; stir. Reduce heat to low; simmer very slowly until chicken and corn are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese until cheese melts.
  • Pour soup into bowls and garnish with reserved bacon, grated Cheddar cheese, cilantro, and green onions.

Tips and Conclusion

For a creamy and flavorful soup, use full-fat coconut milk and chicken broth. If you prefer a lighter soup, you can use low-fat coconut milk or chicken broth. To add more spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you don't have corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels. To make the soup ahead of time, cook the chicken and vegetables according to the recipe instructions. Then, let the soup cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through. Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a side of cornbread or tortilla chips. Conclusion: This creamy southwest chicken and corn chowder is a flavorful and satisfying soup that is perfect for a cold day. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and hearty soup, give this recipe a try!
