Chicken Corn Chowder

   This is a family favorite, my husband absolutely loves it! I'm sure there is a totally "made from scratch"  recipe like this out there somewhere, but this one is more semi-homemade because we're all about keeping it simple and delicious. Hope Y'all like this one as much as we do!


Ingredients:

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can of milk (use empty soup can to measure out milk, less dishes)
  • 1/2 cup salsa 
  • 1 can (again use empty soup can) frozen corn
  • 2 chicken breast, cooked and shredded * see bottom for options on preparing chicken
  • handful of crumbled, cooked bacon (or packaged bacon bits, this is easy right!)

Directions:

  • Combine canned soup, milk and salsa in soup pan until thoroughly mixed
  • stir in corn, chicken and bacon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • simmer for 15-30 minutes (or eat right away in a hurry)
  • if desired, top with sour cream and additional bacon
** chicken cooking options:
  1.  chop and cube chicken breast into bite size pieces, season with salt, pepper, adobo seasoning and parsley. fry in a few tablespoons oil until cooked, drain and dump into soup.
  2. (this one can be done the night before) bring enough water to totally cover chicken to a boil, add salt and parsley to the water and add chicken in. cover and turn heat to a simmer. once chicken is cooked through, place on cutting board to cool then shred with a fork (or your hands). 
both of these ways are good in the soup, i prefer the shredded chicken method but try them both and decide for yourself!
