So, I’ve been a bit under the weather lately. My wonderful mother and friends have offered to bring me soup, but I declined. No way would I expose anyone to this awful crud! The one bright spot…I started craving Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder. I must say…I haven’t always been the biggest soup fan. In the past, soup would be at the bottom on my list of things to eat. That is, until my sister in law introduced me to this recipe years ago. I officially became a soup defector right then and there! I love love love this soup and have been making it ever since! It has definitely made me feel better this week! Thank you Brandy!
Whether you are feeling under the weather or it’s just a cold fall or winter day, this Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder will warm you up and make you feel so much better!
I’ll never forget the first time Brandy made this soup. It was during one of our annual family hayrides at the farm. The air was cool and crisp, giving the body a little chill. What better way to warm yourself up than a big bowl of soup. The chipotle peppers add the perfect amount of heat to warm you up from the inside. This recipe is one that evokes memories every time I make this soup. When I think of my all time favorite comfort foods, this soup ranks pretty high on my list.

Did you know you can buy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in a jar now? They are already minced up! I always would pull out the plastic gloves when it came time to mince up the peppers but not anymore! I just scoop out 2 tablespoons from the jar and that’s the right amount of heat for me. When I could only buy the can of peppers I would pull out 2 and mince them up then freeze the rest of the peppers until I needed them. I also wait and shred the chicken while the soup simmers for 20 minutes. No need to waste time getting the soup going.
You have to try this recipe even if you aren’t a soup lover. I promise, you will become a soup defector too after trying this recipe!
Yum! And that blue pot is the prettiest! I need this in my life 🙂
I got that blue pot with Christmas money years back. Bought it on Amazon. I actually have 2 in different sizes. I could buy 2 Lodge Dutch ovens for the less than the price of 1 Le Creuset.
It’s sooo yummy!!! Think I’ll make this in next few days ? I’m so glad Brandy introduced you too! cuz yrs later you showed me & it’s our favorite!!
I’m going to try this, hope you feel better soon!! Love ya!!!!
This is definitely my kind of soup! It looks delicious! Hope you are feeling better and thanks for sharing this with us at #FoodieFriDIY!
Since you wouldn’t let me make you soup, I’ll make this and pretend like we had some together. Hope you are feeling better today!!! Sending you well wishes, hugs and loads of love.
Thanks mom! Now you never have to ask me for the recipe…just refer to the blog!
This looks wonderful I love soup but rarely make it myself – this recipe, however, is so straight-forward that I’ve really got no excuse NOT to make it. And no, I didn’t know that you could buy minced chipotles in adobo. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that!
Thank you! It’s delicious! The minced chipotle peppers come in a jar not a can so keep your eye out for the jar.
YUM! All the good stuff in this soup. I feel warm and comforted just looking at it 🙂 Stopping by from #FoodieFriDIY
