Farmhouse Chicken and Corn Chowder

Yum

January 26, 2018 by Jodi + 4 Comments

This Farmhouse Chicken and Corn Chowder is creamy, rich, hearty and definitely hits the spot on a cold, wintry night. Done in your slow cooker which makes it even better!

This Farmhouse Chicken and Corn Chowder is the perfect soup for those days when you just can’t seem to get warm. . .which would be me every single day during the winter (I’m literally wrapped in a blanket as I’m sitting here typing this post 😂).

This soup scored raved reviews at our house. In fact, a couple of my boys had it for lunch the next day. Then a couple nights later when I reheated the leftovers of this soup and another soup I’d made that week, everyone went for this one. 

Now for Braydon (the kid who picks out chunks of anything green or red) to love this, not even pick out anything and then choose it over white chicken chili on leftover night, that speaks volumes about how good this soup is.

It’s hearty and packed with so many delicious things, it’s hard not to love it.

Bacon, red potatoes, carrots, and red bell peppers are just a few of the yummy ingredients in this chowder.The can of creamed corn and heavy cream make it rich and creamy and the chipotle chile gives it just the slightest bit of kick. You guys, it really is so, so good.

Please don’t skip the minced chipotle. It’s definitely one of the stars of the show here. It gives this soup a smoky flavor that takes it a whole other level.

This is one of the slow cooker recipes that does require a few more steps than just “dumping” everything in, but I promise it’s worth the few extra steps it requires.

I served this with a tossed salad and some crusty french bread and it was the perfect meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices bacon, minced
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound red potatoes (about 3 medium), scrubbed and cut into ½-inch chunks
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 to 3 boneless , skinless chicken breasts (depending on how much chicken you want, I use 3)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chile in adobo
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 1 1/2 cups Grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil and onions and cook until softened, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic,o paste, and tyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups broth, scraping up any browned bits then transfer to your slow cooker. Stir remaining 3 cups broth, potatoes, carrot, and bay leaves into slow cooker.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper and nestle into slow cooker. Cover and cook until chicken is tender, 4-6 hours on low.
  4. Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-size pieces.  Discard bay leaves.
  5. Microwave bell pepper with remaining teaspoon oil in bowl, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir softened peppers, creamed corn, shredded chicken, cream, chipotles and grated cheese into soup.  Cook for 10 more minutes.
  6. Stir in basil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Notes

I mentioned before that when a recipe calls for minced canned chipotle I freeze the remainder of the can in a Ziploc bag and then just cut of a chunk of it the next time I need it for a recipe.

    I saw this in the ATK slow cooker book too and I agree…it’s delicious!! I’ve been making it for a few years now and it’s a favorite with both my kiddos and my hubby. It’s super creamy and although it’s a few extra steps, it’s totally worth it! 🙂 I’ve never added the chipotle peppers because I’ve been afraid it would be too spicy for my littles. But after reading your review, I think I’ll add them next time! I’m actually making your Family Favorite Pasta for dinner tonight…another favorite of our family 🙂

      Hi Tiffany! I loved reading your comment. You definitely need to add the chipotle, I promise it’s not too hot and it adds a delicious smoky flavor to this soup. I’m so happy that your family loves the pasta, it honestly it one of our most favorite meals ever. I hope you keep coming back and find more favorite recipes. If you ever have any family favorites you think I should, try, send them my way :)! Take care.
