I like to make this smooth, creamy soup when company comes to visit. Its zippy flavor is full of Southwestern flair. My family enjoys dipping slices of homemade bread in this chowder to soak up every bite! —Susan Garoutte, Georgetown, Texas

Definitely my favorite soup! I usually make it at least once a month, sometimes more during the cold months. We enjoy it more with 2 cans of the cream style corn--it thickens it up a bit--and use 2 bouillon cubes rather than the granules. Pair that with bread fresh out of the oven, and you just can not go wrong!

Great recipe, though there's no way it would be 6-8 servings in our family. I basically doubled it (not the chicken), and took the suggestion of adding some slivered up flour tortillas. My family loved it, and I'll make it again.

I thought this soup was too thin. I would leave out the water and add some whole corn. I added some cut up flour tortillas to help thicken it and give it more substance.

My fiancee is a huge fan of southwest/mexican food and also corn chowder. The flavor of this soup is absolutely to die for. However, we added an extra can of white corn (regular style, drained) and it still didn't seem thick enough or chunky enough for our liking. I think next time I'll leave out a quarter cup of the recommended amount of cream and also add just the tiniest bit of flour. I think you just have to play with the recipe until you find the right consistency for your liking. Super yummy though. Great recipe.

An absolutely delicious cool-weather soup with some zip! I make it over and over again!

So easy and so delicious! I used cooked, diced chicken I had in the freezer, thus making preparation even easier. I also added a bit of frozen corn that I had left in the freezer. Will definitely make this again and again!

I made it over somewhat by using extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, adding a can of whole kernel corn, replacing 3/4 of the cream with fat free half and half, adding a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, a 1/4 c. of hot water and 2 T. cornstarch to thicken it more and using reduced fat cheese. You would never guess it is a makeover recipe. It is wonderful> Love those OLD TOH recipes sooo much!!!!!

Brought this to a chili/chowder "cook off" and won first place! Everyone liked it. It is rich and has just enough spice to it to make it interestingly delicious!

This recipe was fantastic! I made a few changes, I used heavy cream instead of half and half (it was all I had) and I added 2 diced potaotes to the chowder, cooked it in the crock pot on low for several hours and when I served this I sprinkled the moneray jack cheese and tomato and bacon bits on top. The family is already asking when I will be making it again! Thanks for sharing your ownderful recipe!
