Chicken Corn Chowder



6 medium potatoes, washed, peeled, cubed and boiled
2 small yellow onions, chopped
1 large red pepper, de seeded and chopped
4 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp McCormick Cajun seasoning
1 heaping tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 heaping teaspoons Hormel Applewood smoked bacon bits
1 large can white chicken meat, (12.5 oz)
1 quart 1 percent milk
1 (15 oz) can of creamed corn

Wash, peel, cube and boil the potatoes and set aside. Melt the butter in a 3 quart saucepan, and add the onions and the red pepper. Sautee until onions and peppers are softened. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup of flour and stir well to create a roux. Add the milk a little bit at a time, stirring constantly so that the flour and butter are incorporated into the milk. Add the corn and the cubed potaoes.

Add the bacon bits, spices, and chicken meat and stir again. Heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture JUST begins to bubble and is thickened.

Serves 8
I made a simple soup earlier. Ate it before photographing it)
Took a saucepan, 75 % filled w/ water.
Added chicken bouillon. Added large onion pieces then when it came to a boil, added diced pieces of peeled russet potato. Added salt / pepper, a pat of butter and pressed garlic paste. (Pressed garlic, touch of olive oil and salt, mashed by the tines of a fork)

In another pot, made a roux of flour and butter, w/ some milk.
Took some broth from the onion/potato mix, chilled it then added it to the Roux.
When it started to thicken I added the onion/ potato mix from the other pot,

@soar2newhighs Oooo!!! Maybe I should give leeks another try! That looks a lot better than my soup!
@4meAndyou if you do, give them a good clean. But even if you use regular onions, you’ll pretty much get the same results.

@soar2newhighs Yes, but the leeks LOOK very pretty in the soup. I suppose I could use scallions...😊

I made a version of that a while back. Turned out pretty good. Did a shrimp and corn version a little over a week ago. It was good too

@4meAndyou I seared the shrimp in the bacon drippings for extra flavor

@JohnnyNoir Oooo. Taking it to another level!!!

@4meAndyou exactly. It was delicious!
Even better to add your own cooked chicken and bacon. Looks yummo thanks for an idea for a meal

@Jimthere4fun I was this close to cooking my own bacon...but unfortunately it gets soggy in the pot. These bacon bits don't.
@4meAndyou cook the bacon separately dice and add when eating, sprinkle them in then. Just a thought

@Jimthere4fun Great thought!
For a lot of years I made a lot of chicken corn soup. Not so complicated as yours, but we loved it.

@Mamapolo2016 You'll have to share that recipe with me, now. I LOVE easy!
@4meAndyou I made my own chicken stock by boiling a chicken.

Chicken broth, whole kernel sweet corn, cut up chicken, chopped hard-boiled eggs and diced celery and onion (celery & onion optional).

If you like a thicker soup, stir up some flour in water and add it to the soup, stirring.

It's good!

@Mamapolo2016 Sounds delish! I have a chicken in the freezer...coming right up! 😉
Love corn chowders. This sounds good.

@BizSuitStacy The bacon bits make it special...and the chicken makes it a dinner with protein!
@4meAndyou I like a dash of Frank's Redhot for a little kick.
4meAndyou · F
@BizSuitStacy YES! That's why I added a tiny bit of Cajun seasoning. 😊
Scrumptious! Thank you for that recipe
