This is an amazing soup! I love chowders and am always searching for new ones. I discovered this one, read all the reviews, and gave a shot. Did not disappoint! However, I made so many changes the first time around, that I can’t really review the original recipe. Here’s what I did: 1) Broiled the chicken breasts separately. I seasoned them with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Cooled, diced and set aside. 2) Parboiled the diced potatoes in a separate pot. Set aside to add later. 3) Omitted the canned chilies and instead diced 2-3 medium sized fresh jalapenos and added 1 diced poblano pepper. 4) Completely omitted the bacon (actually I totally blanked it when I made it). This didn’t affect the recipe too much. I just used sunflower oil to cook the veggies. 5) I also omitted the can of creamed corn. Instead of frozen corn, I cut off fresh corn kernels from 2 ears of corn. That worked perfectly and the flavor was incredible. 6) Like another reviewer, I decreased the flour to 3 tablespoons and used 1/2 cup of heavy cream instead of skim milk (which I never buy). 7) I also didn’t whisk in the grated cheese, but had some set aside for topping. Even so…I have to give credit where credit is due! Thanks for posting!

Incredible!! Just made this for dinner and the whole family was raving over it. My 3yr old had 2 bowls!
The only thing I did different was I parboiled the cubed potatoes for about 8 min before adding them and I also roasted skin-on chicken breasts in the oven with a little kosher salt and pepper and when cooled chopped them up and then put them in the chowder. This was so easy and absolutely delicious. Will make again for sure!

Made this last night for the first time, and tried it out on my community group. It was a hit. We enjoyed the rich corn flavor. I only put in 1/8 tsp. of cayenne b/c there are lots of kids in our group, and I wasn’t sure how hot it was going to be. Next time I’d use the full amount. :o)
I felt like it needed a lot of salt, so next time I’d use regular chicken broth instead of lower sodium. The cheese is an excellent addition to corn chowder. And we made extra bacon to use as garnish, too. Delish! Thanks!

Thanks for such an awesome recipe. I love how easy it was and how delicious it is. I love the small amount of spice because of the cayenne pepper with the awesome flavors of bacon and cheese and well of course everything else. It is definitely one of those soups that you just can’t get enough of. Definitely going to save this recipe for tons more use!

Delicious!! Perfect for a snowy night after a long day of work. I used some leftover pork because it was there and added some needed-to-be-used celery and it was great. Not really that much work either.
Note: Makes enough for a small army.

This was awesome! Easy to make and so good! It was very flavorful and had just enough of a kick. It makes a lot though, so we froze part of it for later.
