Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups frozen or canned corn, drained
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional toppings: cooked bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, add the shredded rotisserie chicken, corn, and diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, flour, and water until smooth to create a slurry.
  6. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the simmering chowder, stirring constantly until the soup thickens slightly. Do not let it boil rapidly once the cream is added.
  7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chowder reaches your desired thickness.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like bacon bits, cheese, and green onions.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for this easy chicken corn chowder recipe.
  • If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash a few of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream mixture.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; it reheats well on the stovetop or in the microwave.
