My Chicken Corn Chowder is absolutely BURSTING with flavor and texture. It’s perfectly creamy without being too heavy–perfect for using up that summer corn! Plus, you can make enough for the whole family in less than an hour.
This chicken corn chowder is incredible. It’s creamy, but not too rich, and it has a remarkable flavor profile with just the right hint of smokiness. Every single ingredient was carefully selected, from the bacon and chicken to the veggies and spices. It’s extremely satisfying without feeling too heavy, and I have a feeling you’re going to want to make it alllll summer long!
This soup’s outrageous flavor comes from a roux built on butter and bacon grease, and let me tell you, that bacon makes ALL. THE. DIFFERENCE. Seriously, you can’t get better flavor than this in soup.
