Chicken & Corn Chowder

Rating: 5 stars

Cost: $

Comments: I've been craving a stew that my mom makes (of course she doesn't have a recipe, she just throws things together) so I went on the web in search of a yummy stew recipe and came across this chicken & corn chowder. I already had all the ingredients in my pantry so I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It was a cinch to make and really hit the spot on a cold winter day. I didn't have a red pepper on hand but I did have celery, so I chopped up 3 celery stalks and I think it really was a great addition.

Ingredients:
1 can (10 oz.) cream of potato soup
1 can (10 oz.) cream of chicken soup
1 cup diced chicken or about 2 cans (4-6 oz. each) chunk chicken (I used the real stuff)
1 can (12-15oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper or roasted red bell pepper (I didn't have this so I left it out)
1 can chopped mild green chile (I left this out also)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried leaf thyme
1 cup milk

Directions:
Combine all ingredients except milk into a 4-6 quart crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add milk and cook for about 30 minutes longer, or until hot.
