This super delicious 20 Minute Chicken and Corn Chowder can be whipped up in no time! We start with cooked chicken, like store bought rotisserie,  add corn, veggies, milk and a finely diced pepper for just a little kick!

This soup has been a family favorite for years…I’m talking 20 at least!  It’s so easy and comforting!  

We start with already cooked chicken.  You can buy a rotisserie chicken at your market or just bake an extra chicken breast when your cooking dinner during the week.

What you need to make this easy chowder recipe:

  • cooked chicken
  • fresh, frozen or canned corn
  • cream corn (add this to your grocery list so you have it on hand anytime you want to whip up a batch!
  • celery
  • onion
  • potato – any variety
  • Jalapeño pepper (or poblano, hatch or even a can of chopped chilies will work!)
  • milk – whole or 2% (skim is not recommend)

 

What else could I add to this Easy Chicken and Corn Chowder?

  • red pepper
  • zucchini
  • chopped carrots
  • mushrooms
  • broccoli
  • clean out the fridge and throw it in this pot of soup!
