Chicken Green Chile Corn Chowder

I’m a big fan of soups in the winter.  Soups that I can make in the crockpot are even better.  This is a pretty flexible recipe, use what you have.  I used frozen green chiles, but you could absolutely use canned.  This is a really good way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken as well – just shred it up and put it into the soup in rough shreds.

I have had this turn out in varying degrees of creaminess.  I tried adding cream cheese, but it’s too sweet, I think Mexican Creama might work well.  I didn’t make this recipe to turn out very creamy, so you might want to add a bit more cream to yours, just be careful not to cook the cream because it will curdle.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 12 oz frozen hatch green chiles
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken - i freeze this for when i need it later
  • 1 cup frozen green beans optional
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup half and half or cream i'll probably stir this in right before i serve it - if you add it too early it will curdle

Instructions

  1. Dump it all in the crock pot - cook on low for 4-6 hours if your stock is thawed out - mine is frozen so i'll probably have to cook it longer 🙂
