Chipotle Chicken and Corn Bacon Chowder
From: Kevin Lynch @ www.closetcooking.com/
A creamy, smoky and spicy chipotle chicken and corn chowder with plenty of bacon!
With the cooler weather rolling in I have been thinking about soups more and you really can't go wrong with a tasty chowder like this chipotle chicken and corn bacon chowder! I enjoy using corn in chowders as it adds that amazing sweetness and you can use it year round with frozen or canned corn but it's especially nice in the summer and the fall with fresh corn from the cob. I like to use a full chicken for the chicken meat in this chowder and I cook it in the broth along with the cobs after removing the corn from them and this adds a ton of chicken and corn flavor to the broth! I'm always in for a bit of heat and chipotles chilies complement the sweet corn in this chowder nicely!
If it's chilly out today (or even if it's a hot summer day) you really can't go wrong with a bowl of this comforting chipotle chicken and corn bacon chowder!
