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!).

This chowder is a bit spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chipotle peppers.

I added a can of black beans to the chowder for extra protein. It was a great addition!

I'm not a fan of corn, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chowder was still delicious without it.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is the perfect recipe to use them up.

I made this chowder in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and convenient.

This chowder is hearty and filling. It's perfect for a cold winter day. I love the addition of the corn and potatoes. They add a nice sweetness and texture to the dish.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this chowder was surprisingly mild. The chipotle peppers added a subtle smokiness that I really enjoyed. I would definitely make this again.

This chicken chowder is fantastic! The chipotle peppers add a smoky heat that is perfectly balanced by the creamy broth and tender chicken. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
