Corn chowder is one of my favorite soups. Unfortunately is usually comes with a fat content. I found a recipe on recipezaar and adapted it. I have gotten many compliments for its creamy texture and peppery zing. I hope you enjoy.

LOW-FAT CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER



Low-Fat Chicken Corn Chowder image

I LOVE chicken corn chowder, but it is usually really high in calories. So, when the doctor told me that I need to lose some weight, I went a-hunting for a low-fat and low-cal version. What I found was this. I love that the work is minimal. No chopping (if you use frozen onions like I do), no peeling, just open a few cans and off you go! This is just as good reheated the next day if there are leftovers. I add a little Tabasco right before eating. Also, I should note that we like our chowder meaty, so I use 2 large cans of chicken. If you like it less so, you can use only one can. If you prefer to not use canned meat, use 1 cup of cooked, diced chicken breast for each can.

1/2 cup water
2 cups skim milk
16 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried whole thyme
8 teaspoons low-fat cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked corn will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use low-fat milk or broth: To make a low-fat corn chowder, use low-fat milk or broth instead of whole milk or cream. You can also use a combination of milk and broth.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to corn chowder. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, squash, or bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: Corn chowder should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Corn chowder is a great meal to serve with a side of bread or crackers. You can also serve it with a salad or soup.

Corn chowder is a delicious and versatile soup that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great way to use up fresh or frozen corn, and it is also a good source of nutrients. Corn chowder can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is a great meal for a cold day.
