Southwestern Corn Chowder

By Mom 18 Comments Note: This Post May Contain Affiliate Links Which Means We Earn a Small Commision.

As the days are getting colder, my husband and I like to warm our weekends up with homemade soups.  Last weekend I decided to make a corn chowder.  It turned out wonderful and rich and my husband loved the bread bowl!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 large onion, chopped
  • 2 14 oz cans chicken broth
  • 2 red or white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (4 ounces) can chopped mild green chiles
  • 1 large raw chicken breast cut into 1-inch bites
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used a cheddar/jack blend)
  • 1 roasted red pepper, cut into 1-inch strips (jarred is fine)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • Hot sauce (I used a bit in the chowder and then served it on the side for those who wanted a bit more of a kick)
  • Shredded cheese for garnish
  • Bread bowls for serving

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, melt butter and add onions until translucent.  Add the chicken broth, potatoes, oregano, poultry seasoning, chili powder, salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Bring to a low boil and simmer about ten minutes, until potatoes are just barely tender. Add the corn and simmer until corn is heated through.

Remove about 1-1/2 cups of the chowder and puree in a blender or food processor. Return puree to the chowder and add green chiles and chicken. Simmer about 5 minutes to cook chicken. Add half and half and shredded cheese. Stir until incorporated and cheese has melted. Gently stir in red pepper, cilantro, and hot sauce.

Serve in bread bowls with additional shredded cheese and cilantro for garnish.

    ooooh! This looks SO yummy! I might need to go buy myself some corn so I can make it. It’s all cold and rainy here so something like this would be awesome. Thanks.

    I love the bread bowl too! Wonder if it would be okay to use Pepperjack for part of the cheese for an extra kick?

      I used very large rolls and made them into bread bowls. I wish I would have toasted them first, but they turned out okay!

    I’m glad someone else already asked about the bread bowls. I can never find them either. It doesn’t help that I live in the middle of nowhere. I guess yummy looking recipes like this give me more of an excuse to experiment in bread baking.
