This week my husband requested chicken corn chowder. I looked online, and ended up taking inspiration from several different recipes.
I took 2 frozen chicken breasts and boiled them in about 6 cups of water. When the chicken was cooked, I shredded it with forks. I sauteed about 1.5 cups of chopped onions and celery with some butter until the onions were translucent. I added in the chicken water along with a couple of chicken bullion cubes. I added two cut up potatoes, the corn kernels cut from two ears of corn, the chicken, some salt, pepper, chili powder, and poultry seasoning. I let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes were soft. After removing it from the heat, I added half a cup of half and half.
This soup was ok. I wasn't thrilled with the way the seasoning came out, and it could have used more corn. One of the recipes I read said to add a can of creamed corn, but I forgot to buy it. I also think that would have made it thicker. I will have to try a creamy or cheesy based soup next.
