Chipotle Chicken and Corn Bacon Chowder

[heart_this] · Sep 28, 2016 · 12 Comments

Chipotle Chicken and Corn Bacon Chowder

A creamy, smoky and spicy chipotle chicken and corn chowder with plenty of bacon!

With the cooler weather rolling in I have been thinking about soups more and you really can’t go wrong with a tasty chowder like this chipotle chicken and corn bacon chowder! I enjoy using corn in chowders as it adds that amazing sweetness and you can use it year round with frozen or canned corn but it’s especially nice in the summer and the fall with fresh corn form the cob. I like to use a full chicken for the chicken meat in this chowder and I cook it in the broth along with the cobs after removing the corn from them and this adds a ton of chicken and corn flavour to the broth! I’m always in for a bit of heat and chipotles chilies complement the sweet con in this chowder nicely! Starting with bacon is a no brainer, where I add the cooked bacon to the soup at the end and I use the rendered bacon fat to cook the vegetables in to get maximum bacon flavour! The rest of the ingredients are pretty much what you would expect with the only exception being the use of the white miso paste to add the saltiness rather than just using plain salt as the miso adds that hit of umami! If it’s chilly out today (or even if it’s a hot summer day) you really can’t go wrong with a bowl of this comforting chipotle chicken and corn bacon chowder!

    "miso pasta" might be interesting, but I think it supposed to be "paste".
