This soup is packed full of tons of great flavor. We like to top our soup with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and some crushed tortilla chips. Serve each bowl with some homemade cornbread, fluffy biscuits, or a green salad.

Chicken corn chowder is one of my favorite soups, and this recipe sounds so easy! I must try this soon! Thanks, girl! 🙂
I just have a question about the consistency…do you think it would be possible to serve this over rice? My bf doesn't think of soup as a meal 🙁 but I think I can fool him if I could turn it in to some kind of rice bowl. Thoughts? I've never made a chowder before so I'm not sure about how thin/thick it should be. Thanks!
You can certainly reduce the broth/milk a bit and stir in some cooked rice.
Mmm nothing like soup on a brisk winter day! This looks fabulous Steph!
I looove me some corn chowder, and nothing can ever be wrong when bacon is added. Yum!
I think I will make this for Bunco!
