Chicken Corn Chowder With Green Chilis And Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• To poach the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, thyme, pepper and a tablespoon of salt large pot. Add water to cover, at least 3 quarts. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, skimming occasionally. Skim, add more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered, and continue to gently simmer until the chicken is fully cooked (the juices from the thigh will run clear), about 40 minutes. Drain the chicken reserving the broth. Allow the chicken to cool then remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones and refrigerate the meat until ready to make the chowder. Measure out 1 1/2 quarts of the broth and reserve for the chowder. Freeze or refrigerate any remaining broth until needed for another purpose.
• To make the chowder: Heat the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until the bacon fat is rendered and the meat firming but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and onions. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, corn, and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are fully soft, about 8 additional minutes.
• Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Turn down the heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cream and reserved chicken. Return the chowder to a simmer, season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into warm bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Prep garlic, onion, potatoes, celery together onto a large plate and put aside.
• Chop up bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium low heat until well done. Bacon will soften during soup cooking.
• Without draining drippings, add your chopped vegetables and cook until onions begin to soften.
• Over your pan, sift white flour beginning with 1 tbs until all the renderings are absorbed and a light coating on flour has appeared.
• Add stock.
• Bring to a low simmer and add your spices. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. During this time add your chicken and corn.
• At this time you might have to transfer to a stock pot. Add 1/2 cup light cream and start with one cup of milk. Return to a simmer.
• Separately, mix 1/4 cup corn meal and 1/2 cup of water. This is to be added to your chowder next for flavor and thickening.
• Depending on the consistency you like, add the rest of your milk and corn meal mixture. Add milk to make it thinner, and corn meal mix to make it thicker. Or both. The cornmeal will be visible in the soup, but if you have "fine" corn meal, you will not feel it.
• Simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are soft. Serve.

Steps:

• Set a 6-quart multi-cooker to the saute setting and add the butter. Add the bacon, onions and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green chiles, corn and garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/3 cup chicken stock. Add to the multi-cooker and stir well. Cover and position the vent to the sealing setting. Set the multi-cooker to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. When the time is up, carefully quick release the steam (it takes about 3 minutes), then remove the lid.
• Mix in the heavy cream. Stir in the cheeses until they have melted completely. Check the seasoning; add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately garnished with the green onions.

Steps:

• Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray, then add onions through garlic and saute over mediun-high heat. Add a little chicken broth to prevent burning and cook 8-10 minutes.
• Add corn, chicken, chiles, pepper, and remaining broth. Bring to a boil 2-3 minutes.
• Dissolve cornstarch in the half and half, then stir into soup.
• Bring to a boil, then serve.

Steps:

• Put soup in large pot.
• Mix flour with 3 Tablespoons of the milk.
• Add to the pot with remaining milk and rest of the ingredients.
• Cook until potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• 1 - Place 2-3 large boneless chicken breasts in a large stock pot. Add enough water to cover chicken by about 1 inch above the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer until tender (45 mins - 1hr should suffice). Remove chicken & let cool. Once cool, medium dice chicken and set aside. Measure your remaining liquid from the pot in a measuring cup. How much liquid you have remaining depends on various things. I usually have around 2 - 3 cups of broth remaining. Add additional chicken stock to what you have to equal a total of 8 cups of liquid (You can use bouillon cubes or chicken base to make up the remaining stock if you'd like).
• 2 - Medium dice 1 large sweet white onion. Finely dice 3 cloves of garlic. On low to medium heat saute onions until translucent in color (do NOT brown), then add garlic & cook 1-2 additional minutes. Set aside.
• 3 - Peel & medium dice 8-10 potatoes of your choice. Must equal 8 cups of potatoes total.
• 4 - In your stock pot you should have 8 cups of stock waiting. Now add the 8 cups of diced potatoes, diced bacon, diced chicken, seasoning salt, white pepper & cayenne. Bring to a boil then reduce to a medium simmer until potatoes are tender.
• 5 - Once your potatoes are tender, mash up about 1/3-1/2 in the pot to help thicken the soup and to give contrast in texture. Now you can add the frozen or fresh (precooked) corn.
• 6 - Next add 2 - 8oz packages of room temperature cream cheese to soup. Room temp is very important in preventing curdling! Keep soup on low heat (stirring often) until all the cream cheese has melted. Taste test to make sure your seasonings are how you like them.
• 7 - Garnish the top of each bowl you serve with a bit of shredded sharp cheddar (orange type works nicely for color contrast but not mandatory), some of the finely chopped crispy bacon bits you have set aside & a bit of small diced green onion.
• **If you'd like a thicker soup you may use a roux or a slurry made from cornstarch & water.
• *** Please take note: creole seasoning is not Cajun seasoning! I prefer Tony Chacheres, Zatarains, or Paul Prudhomme's Creole seasoning salts.
• **** Delicious served in a warm bread bowl!

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir carrot, celery, onion, and garlic into hot butter until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir flour into mixture to make a paste; cook until lightly browned and flour gives off a slightly toasted smell, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully, flour burns easily. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
• Stir white and yellow corn, potatoes, chicken, and 3 cups of chicken stock in a large soup pot over medium heat. Whisk remaining 1 cup chicken stock into vegetables and flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir mixture into ingredients in soup pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes.
• Stir half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper into chowder. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Chop bacon and place In large soup kettle or dutch oven and cook to render the fat - on the stovetop of course. Meanwhile, chop celery, carrots, onion.
• 2. To the fat add the chopped/diced mirepoix (onions, celery, carrot) sweat for about 10 minutes on low heat, covered but stir occasionally and add salt and pepper to taste.
• 3. Add chicken stock and chicken breasts. You can use frozen chicken if you'd like. Add bay leaves, rosemary. Bring to boil and cover, place on simmer for 40 minutes stirring occasionally.
• 4. Remove chicken, set aside. Remove bay leaves and rosemary sprigs; do not add them back to the soup.
• 5. Peel and dice the 5 cups of yukon gold potatoes and corn. Add to soup pot.
• 6. Dice chicken into quarter inch pieces and add back to soup pot. Bring back to boil.
• 7. Cover, decrease heat to simmer, stir occasionally for 45 min or until potatoes break down. Soup should be thickening.
