Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ a bunch of fresh coriander, (15g)
olive oil
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 sticks of celery
250 g free-range cooked chicken
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 x 400 g tin of black beans
750 ml organic chicken stock
2 fresh corn on the cob
1 fresh bay leaf
75 ml single cream
2 corn tortillas
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Pick the coriander leaves and set to one side, then finely slice the stalks. Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic, then finely slice the celery.
  • Place a large saucepan over a medium-low heat and pour in a good lug of oil. Add the onion, garlic, celery and coriander stalks, then sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the veg is softened but not coloured.
  • Add the cumin and cayenne to the pan and fry for a further minute. Stir in the black beans, along with their liquid, and the chicken stock.
  • Cut the corn from the cob and add it all to the pan, along with the bay leaf. Gently bring it all to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • If you prefer your chowder to be on the smooth side, you could blitz it just a little with a stick blender, otherwise just leave it nice and chunky.
  • Shred the chicken and add it to the pan with the cream. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then return to the hob for a further 10 minutes.
  • Toast the corn tortillas in a hot, dry frying pan until lightly golden. Cut them into large pieces and serve them wedged into bowls of the soup, finished with the reserved coriander leaves and wedges of lemon for squeezing over.

CHICKEN CORN BLACK BEAN SOUP



Chicken Corn Black Bean Soup image

This was so delicious. I couldn't get over how quick and easy it was with such a well blended flavor. My husband tried to go back for a 3rd bowl but I put it up so we could have leftovers for the next day. If you like it a little thicker, stir a couple tablespoons of cornstarch into cold water and whisk into boiling soup for a couple minutes to thicken. Personally, the sour cream, cheese and chips thickened it enough for me. Hubby went back for seconds so he ate it too quick to even notice. Top with blue corn tortilla chips, sour cream, and shredded Mexican-style cheese.

SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN AND CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER



Southwestern Black Bean and Chicken Corn Chowder image

A hearty stick-to-your-ribs soup that your family will enjoy. I like to use the meat from a grocery store rotisserie chicken to save time. If your kids don't like chunks of tomato in their soup (like mine) use a hand/stick blender to puree the diced tomatoes before adding.

Provided by Monique Volz of AmbitiousKitchen.com

Categories     Dairy Free     Dinner     Gluten Free     Lunch

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 31

For the chicken:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced into bite sized pieces
Freshly ground salt and pepper
For the corn chowder:
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced (can also use 1 seeded jalapeno)
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cups diced yukon gold potatoes
5 cups fresh sweet corn off the cob (can also use frozen)
1 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne (only if you like a little heat)
2 cups milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk, but dairy milk or coconut milk would also work)
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
⅓ cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
Juice from ½ lime
To garnish:
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Scallions
1/2 cup fresh diced cilantro
Diced avocado
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once chicken is done cooking, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add in onion, garlic, poblano, red bell pepper, potatoes and corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften a bit.
  • Next stir in spices and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas, then slowly stir in the milk, broth and yogurt (or sour cream), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • To give a creamy texture, blend approximately half of the soup (BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!) then return to the pot. Stir to incorporate and then taste and adjust seasonings -- adding in more salt and pepper if necessary. You can blend more if you like a creamier soup, but I love a little texture. Finally stir in the chicken, black beans and lime juice.
  • To serve, garnish with shredded cheese, scallions, cilantro, avocado and a swirl of sour cream (if not vegan). Makes 6 servings.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER

Mild green chiles, chili powder, and cilantro give a Southwest flavor to chicken corn chowder. Don't be discouraged by the list of ingredients. This chowder goes together in no time. The mild green chiles are not spicy at all, so don't hesitate if you can't handle spicy foods. If you do like it spicy, just add hot sauce to taste or spicier chiles.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, roast the poblano pepper directly over a gas burner or under a broiler until the skin is blackened. Then, place the pepper in a paper bag and let it steam for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skin and seeds.
  • If you don't have canned black beans, you can cook dried black beans. To do this, soak the beans in water overnight. Then, drain the beans and rinse them. Add the beans to a pot with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
  • To make the chowder thicker, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the chowder and cook until thickened.
  • For a vegetarian version of the chowder, omit the chicken and add an extra can of black beans.
  • Serve the chowder with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a side of cornbread.
