Southwestern Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 | Frozen cream-style corn - (10 oz) | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Olive oil |
| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Frozen chopped onions |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Bottled minced garlic |
| 1 | Fat-free chicken broth - (14-1/2 oz) | |
| 1 | Reduced-fat cream of chicken soup - (10 3/4 oz) | |
| 1 | Chopped green chilies - (4-1/2 oz) | |
| 1 | Premium chicken breast meat - (5 oz) | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Chili powder - or more to taste |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Ground cumin |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Low-fat milk |
| Shredded Mexican-blend cheese - optional garnish |
Pierce the plastic corn container (frozen corn only) to vent according to package directions and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave uncovered at high for 4 minutes to defrost.
Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic. Add the chicken broth and raise the heat to high. Add the cream of chicken soup and stir to mix well.
Allow the soup to come to a boil while draining the chilies and chicken and adding them to the pot. When the soup boils, reduce the heat to low. Add the creamed corn, chili powder and cumin. Stir to mix well.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the milk. Serve at once, garnished with cheese if desired.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Cook's note: If frozen cream-style corn is not available, substitute a 15-ounce can of cream-style corn. We tested this recipe with Campbell's Healthy Request cream of chicken soup. If you're serving very small children, feel free to omit the canned chilies, chili powder and cumin. Instead, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
