Several years ago I was searching the internet for a quick and easy dinner recipe. I came across Tyler Florence’s Corn Chowder Recipe. It looked quick and easy so I decided to give it a try. It was delicious, but lacked the protein I wanted in a complete dinner for our family. I decided that the next time I made this recipe I would add more veggies and some chicken. Being a working mom, I bought a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and diced it up to add to the Corn Chowder recipe.

It took a few times of modifying the original corn chowder to come up with my own recipe. This easy Chicken Corn Chowder recipe is now a family favorite. Even our picky five-year old finishes her bowl of chowder every time and usually asks for seconds. I love that I can quickly put this meal together in under an hour. It also creates enough for leftovers for at least another meal.

Give this recipe a try and I’m sure it will quickly become a family favorite for you too. If you do try it out, please be sure to pin this recipe to Pinterest or leave me a comment below. I’d love to hear what you think of this adaptation.

Ingredients

  

• 2 tbsp Butter
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 Onion, diced
• 1/2 cup Celery, diced
• 1/2 cup Shredded Carrots I like to buy the shredded carrots from store to save time
• 2 Garlic Cloves minced I like to buy the frozen cubed garlic
• 6 sprigs Fresh Thyme, leaves only
• 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 8 cups Vegetable Stock sometimes I use chicken stock
• 3 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 Idaho Potatoes, peeled and diced I will buy the pre-cooked and diced potatoes when I'm in a hurry
• 2 10 ounce bags Frozen Corn
• 1 Rotisserie Chicken dice up into cubes before putting into soup
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley leaves
• Bacon (I like to pre-cook my bacon and then top my chowder with crumbled bacon)

Instructions

 

• Pre-Cook Bacon. I like to cook my bacon in the oven at 425 degrees on Convection Roast for about 15-18 minutes. Set aside and let cool. (You can also do this while you are preparing the soup)
• Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, shredded carrots, and thyme and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Coat the vegetables with flour and stir well. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Next, add the cream and potatoes. Bring to a boil and boil for about 7 minutes to help the potatoes break down and thicken the soup.
• Pour in the two bags of frozen corn kernels. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the corn is heated thoroughly, use a hand blender to partially pure the chowder. This will help to thicken it up. I like to leave some of the chowder chucky.
• Pour in the cubes of rotisserie chicken into the chowder. Stir to combine and let simmer for at least 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Ladle the chicken corn chowder into soup bowls. I like to top the chowder with chopped fresh parsley and crumbled bacon. Serve and enjoy!
