Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream style corn, undrained
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the shredded chicken, whole kernel corn, cream style corn, potatoes, onion, celery, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. While the soup simmers, prepare the roux: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Do not let it brown.
  4. Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the hot broth from the soup pot into the flour and butter mixture until smooth.
  5. Pour the roux mixture back into the large soup pot, stirring constantly until the chowder thickens slightly.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently, but do not allow the soup to boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
  • For a thicker chowder, mash about 1/4 of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker; cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours after combining all ingredients except the cream and bacon. Stir in the cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
