When the weather starts getting colder, I start craving soups. I found this recipe for a chicken corn chowder and thought it sounded great. The recipe was adapted from here.
Chicken Corn Chowder
Ingredients
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup onions, diced
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
2 cups corn
1/2 Tablespoon garlic (I used 3 small cloves)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
48 oz chicken broth
1 1/2 cups potatoes, cut into small cubes
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
Directions
Melt margarine in large pan. Add onions, carrots, corn, garlic and thyme. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Add flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Slowly add broth while continuing to stir.
Add potatoes and simmer for 25 minutes. Add chicken and continue to cook until heated through.
Amanda's Analysis:
I thought this soup was really good. It was easy to make and most ingredients I had on hand. The original recipe called for leeks and I would be interested to try it with them as an addition. I did find the soup to be slightly bland so I think some added seasoning such as scallions or pepper would help. Overall I thought this was a great dish and will definitely make it again. I give this soup 6 spoons!

This soup turned out well although I would have liked it to be a bit more chowdery (creamier). Also, the broth was a bit bland and could have used more seasoning other than garlic. This soup gets 4 spoons.
