This Chicken and Corn Chowder is quick and easy to put together, making it perfect for weeknights! With its simmered all-day taste, it’ll be a family favorite!
Chicken Corn Chowder
I’m such a big fan of soup and I look forward to cooler weather so we can enjoy it more often! So many of the soup recipes I have take several hours to prepare – and most days, that’s okay. However, there are some days when we need something quick, easy, and delicious!
I’ve had this Chicken and Corn Chowder recipe for years and it’s one of my favorites to use when I don’t have a lot of time, but crave the comfort of a warm bowl of soup! I usually use leftover chicken in this recipe but if you don’t have any leftovers – don’t fret … this recipe is still just as easy! It’ll take only a few minutes to brown up some chopped up chicken pieces before proceeding with the rest of the recipe!
On nights when I have more time, I will skip the store-bought condensed cream of chicken soup and make my homemade version. It’s easy to make – note that the following condensed soup substitute makes enough for about ONE can of condensed soup, so for the Chicken and Corn Chowder recipe below, you will need to double this!
To make condensed soup substitute: Melt 2 tbsp. butter in a saucepan. Stir in 3 tbsp. flour and stir until smooth and bubbly. While continuously stirring, add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk. Bring to a low boil, continuing to stir until it thickens. Salt and pepper to taste. Use in place of canned cream of “whatever kind” of soup. You can also add herbs, celery or mushrooms.
