Chicken Corn Chowder

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Chicken and corn chowder. Slightly sweet and ultra creamy with a little heat from the chili pepper. Made with crisp sweet corn, tender chicken sausage and sharp cheddar. It’s super easy to make and ready in about 40 minutes! Just add your favorite toppings and dig in.

Imagine sautéed chicken sausage in a creamy broth packed with sweet pops of corn kernels, green bell pepper, potatoes and carrots. Trust me when I say the flavor is amazing! Right before serving, we stir in heavy cream and cheddar, which gives it a luxurious thick texture without making it too rich. Garnish with chopped chives, cilantro, some extra cheddar or sour cream for a satisfying taste.

This comforting recipe is the perfect weeknight dinner… and if you love hearty soups, prepare to be wowed by this one!
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

How We Make Chicken Corn Chowder

We grab a large heavy bottomed pot. First, we sweat the onion, garlic and carrot. Then add the spices and chicken sausage. Add in bell pepper, followed by potatoes, corn and chili pepper. Pour in chicken broth and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. As a final touch, we stir in a splash of lime juice, cream and freshly grated cheddar… and done!

In just about 40 minutes (chopping counted in) you’ll have a seriously tasty chicken corn chowder. You’re going to love how creamy this chowder is, with wonderful spices, delicious flavors and amazing textures.

Everything You’ll Need to Make Chicken Corn Chowder

  • Chicken sausage: I used chicken sausage, but you can also go for boneless/skinless chicken thighs.
  • Corn: We’re using 2 different ways to cut the corn. We remove the kernels from one corn, to add sweet flavor pops to the chowder. We cut the other one in large pieces, this way it will add more flavor to the broth. 
  • Veggies: Green bell pepper and carrot go in.
  • Potato: Releases starch and helps thicken the chowder.
  • Garlic and onion: For extra flavor.
  • Chili pepper: for that extra kick. Add more or less to taste. You can also use crushed chili flakes. 
  • Spices: we’re using a mix of ground cumin, dried oregano, salt and pepper. 
  • Chicken broth: For a tastier chowder, don’t skip the broth! 
  • Lime juice: To balance out the flavor.
  • Cream: For a creamy richness.
  • Cheddar: For richness and to help thicken the chowder. Best when freshly grated.

RECIPE NOTES

  • Add-ins: black beans, white beans, poblano peppers, red bell pepper, jalapeños, 
  • Add your favorite toppings: chopped chives, sliced scallion greens, ground black pepper, oyster crackers, chili flakes, extra grated cheddar, sour cream, cilantro, bacon,…
  • You can use frozen sweet corn. For canned corn, drain before adding to the chowder.
  • Instead of heavy cream, use half-and-half.
  • Go vegetarian: feel free to omit the chicken, and add in a can of white beans for an extra boost of protein.
  • Make ahead: The chowder can be made 1 day ahead.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
