1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk or half & half
4 cups (1) 32 oz box chicken broth

2 tsp adobo sauce (from chipotle chilles)

Steps:

CHICKEN CHOWDER WITH CHIPOTLE



Chicken Chowder With Chipotle image

A spicy, cream, very satisfying soup that is very easy to make (despite the long list of ingredients!). It is from Cooking Light. Just as a precaution--remember to use only 1 chile from the can (however if you like it spicier, feel free to use another one!).

BOSS-WORTHY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN CHOWDER



Boss-Worthy Chipotle Chicken Chowder image

Spicy chowder that's different from all the rest - why? It's the chipotle peppers and roasted corn. If you're not crazy about spices, you can start off with just a hint of the chipotle and jalapeño and add more later, if you like. This is one of our favorite recipes; I even served this to my boss and my boss' boss when they came to my home for a departmental cookout (nervy, huh?)! Adapted from a Gourmet recipe.

1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and minced fine (wear rubber gloves when mincing)
1/2 chipotle chile, minced fine (as many as you can handle, keep the rubber gloves on to mince these!)
3 -6 tablespoons adobo sauce (but I scrape it out of the can the chipotles were in) (optional)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups fat-free half-and-half (or regular half and half, if you can spare the calories!)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, well-drained (or 3 - 5 fresh roma tomatoes, diced)
2 cups fresh corn (for extra smokiness, roast the corn before adding to the chowder) or 2 cups frozen corn (for extra smokiness, roast the corn before adding to the chowder)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 diced boneless smoked chicken breasts (discard skin and fat, (or more, if you want, We smoke our own, but you can buy smoked chicken breast)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart heavy pot, cook onions in oil over moderate heat, stirring until softened.
  • Add diced potato, garlic, and jalapeño and cook stirring, 1 minute.
  • Stir in flour, and cook over moderately low heat, stirring about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in 2 cups broth and half and half and bring to a boil while stirring.
  • Add tomatoes, corn, parsley, chipotle, and chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  • Add remaining broth, if needed, to get the liquid consistency you want.
  • Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • NOTE: The original recipe called for Monterey Jack cheese, and although I love cheese, I just didn't like it with this recipe, but if you want to try it with cheese, enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 2 3/4 pounds)

1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, coarsely chopped

SMOKY CHIPOTLE-CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER WITH SALSA SALAD



Smoky Chipotle-Chicken Corn Chowder with Salsa Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Chicken     Corn     Simmer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 handful
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (eyeball it)
Salt and black pepper
20 white or yellow tortilla chips, plus some for garnish
1 quart chicken stock
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into small bite-size pieces
2 10-ounce boxes frozen corn kernels
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (eyeball it)
2 ripe Hass avocados
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, a palmful, chopped
1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the onions, garlic, chipotle, celery, coriander, cumin, and a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the onions are slightly tender, stirring frequently.
  • While the onions are cooking, in a food processor grind the tortilla chips until they are pretty fine. If you don't have a food processor, put the chips in a resealable plastic bag and smash them up using a rolling pin until you don't feel like doing it anymore. They might not be ground as fine as they would be in the machine, but it won't matter in the end. You need about 1 cup of ground chips; since different brands of chips come in different sizes, adjust the amount you grind accordingly. Add the ground chips to the onions, stir to combine, then add the chicken stock, bring it up to a bubble, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken and frozen corn and continue to cook it for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • While the soup is cooking, prepare the salsa salad. To make the dressing, in a small mixing bowl combine the juice of 1 lime, the mustard, and a little salt and pepper. In a slow steady stream whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Reserve the dressing.
  • Cut all around the circumference of the avocados, lengthwise and down to the pit. Twist and separate the halved fruit. Remove the pit with a spoon, then scoop the flesh out in one piece from both halves, chop it into bite-size pieces, and transfer it to a salad bowl. Cut the grape tomatoes in half and add them to the avocados along with the cilantro, chopped romaine lettuce, and chopped red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss it to coat and combine.
  • If the soup becomes too thick, adjust it by adding a little more stock, and if it is too thin, let it continue to cook and reduce until it is to your liking. Taste and check for seasoning, adjust with a little salt and pepper, and if you want more heat, you have that hot sauce on hand, so use it. Add the parsley and serve the soup with the salsa salad alongside. Garnish each bowl of soup with a chip or two.

Tips:

  • To make the soup extra creamy, use a combination of milk and heavy cream. You can also use all milk or all heavy cream, depending on your preference.
  • If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Chicken Chowder with Chipotle is a delicious and hearty soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. Whether you're serving it for a casual family dinner or a special occasion, this soup is sure to be a hit.
