This was EXCELLENT!! I loved it and will definitely make again. The flavors blended perfectly. I didn't have Mexicorn, so I just used regular canned corn. I also accidentally added one packet of taco seasoning to the chicken/flour mixture instead of 2 TB. I'd serve this with mexican cornbread, and tortilla chips, and sour cream on the side!

I cooked mine in a crock-pot and it was so delicious. Will definately make over & over.

This is my all time favorite chowder. I've made it a few times now and people always ask for the recipe. I like to add a couple different hot peppers to this to kick it up a notch. It's a winner! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.

One thing I meant to mention......since so many of us have to watch our pennies carefully these days, and also due to rising food costs, I'd substitute a can of regular corn for the Mexicorn. The flavor of the Mexicorn is subtle and it gets lost due to the spiciness of the soup. I paid $1.32 for the little 11 oz. can of specialty corn, and a regular 14 oz. can of plain corn costs less than half of that. Just a suggestion!
Very good....my son called it a "keeper". It reminds us of taco soup, and we ate it with a little grated cheese, a few crushed tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream on each serving, since that's how we garnish our favorite taco soup recipe. I like the fact that it's a good complete meal in itself, and goes together so quickly and easily!

This was really fast to make, and it makes a whole lot! It was so fantastic, and I bet the leftovers will be even better. Try it with some Scoops tortilla chips.

This was only so-so. It seemed like it should have been much more flavorful than it was. The only thing that I can think I might have done wrong was that I didn't serve it immediately so it simmered for a bit after it was done. My husband did like it, though he didn't rave.

Fantastic flavor, a meal all by itself. I frequently make big batches of homemade soup and store them in individual size containers for easy lunches to pull from the freezer. This soup freezes very well!

It is easy to see how this won first place. I have made it many times and it is excellent. I am making it for my co-workers. I am sure they will enjoy it as much as we do. I used rotel for the mexican stewed tomatoes.
