Chicken Chowder With Chipotle image

A spicy, cream, very satisfying soup that is very easy to make (despite the long list of ingredients!). It is from Cooking Light. Just as a precaution--remember to use only 1 chile from the can (however if you like it spicier, feel free to use another one!).

This chowder was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.
