Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ears corn, shucked
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large poblano chile pepper, stemmed and seeded, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 15-ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
1 1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a small bowl. Run the back of your knife down the cobs to scrape any corn milk into the bowl (it will help thicken the soup). Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the poblano, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Add the corn kernels and their milk. Stir in the chili powder and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the tomatoes, hominy, chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is slightly reduced and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the chips and scallions.

TEX-MEX CHEESY CHICKEN CHOWDER



Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Chowder image

This came highly recommended from one of my co-workers and, honestly, I was kind of skeptical because of a couple of the ingredients. I'm usually not interested in recipes that have convenience foods in them but I gave this one a shot and, boy, is it good! I'm still not thrilled with the Velveeta and would like to find an easy-melting cheese to replace it so if anyone trying this recipe can come up with something, I'm all ears! This makes up a big pot of thick, hearty chowder that would be perfect for a Super Bowl party, or any get-together with lots of guys and kids...it's just something that would appeal to that group, you know? You can easily adjust the heat by the type of salsa you use....I used a mild salsa and it was perfect for us. Oh, my co-worker's neighbor got this recipe from Midwest Living magazine.
