A few month ago I posted a recipe for making corn chowder with chicken. Under my bf suggestions and my own ideas I have revised and adjusted that recipe and created a much better version of it!
What I have done different?
1. Instead of using canned chicken broth I’ve used my bf’s mom recipe for chicken soup
2. I’ve used chicken drumsticks instead of chicken breast. The meat is just more tender and soft
3. I’ve doubled the corn quantity. It’s corn chowder after all…
and this is what I’ve got.
Ingredients (serves 8):
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced carrot
- 2 cups corn
- 3 tbsp tomato in can (or 1 fresh tomato)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 3 cup chicken broth
- 2 cup chicken
- 1-1/2 cup of half and half
- 1 tsp salt
- ground black pepper
for the chicken soup:
- 5 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 white radish
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tsp salt
Start by making the chicken soup!
Take 5 chicken drumsticks
Place them in a big pot and fill it up with water
slice up the white radish and add it to the pot
slice very thin some ginger and add that into the pot as well.
Bring it to a boil and let simmer for about 2-3 hours
When the soup is ready
take out the chicken drumsticks and using a fork peel off the skin
then shred them up
and set aside (you should have about 2 cup of chicken meat there). You can saute’ the chicken in a skillet with some butter if you want. I’ve skipped this step because by boiling the meat for so long and by using chicken legs instead of chicken breast I’ve got a very soft and moist meat already so no need for those extra calories
Now take a carrot and dice it up
chop up a small onion
some celery
and about 2 medium size potatoes
In a pot melt the butter
Pour in diced potatoes, carrots, celery and chopped onion
Stir it around then add 1 tbsp of flour
and 1 tsp of seasoned salt. Stir well
Next up, take about 3 cups of that delicious chicken soup you’ve just made and pour it right into the pot. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 20 min
after 20 min add in the chicken
about 3 tbsp of canned tomatoes (or 1 fresh diced tomato)
and corn
Stir well, cover with a lid and keep cooking for other 15-20 min
Pour in the heavy cream, adjust with salt and black pepper,cook for 10 more minute
and then ladle the soup into serving bowls
and enjoy it!
Irresistibly tasty 😉
