Chicken Corn Chowder (WEM)
Recipes | November 13, 2016
*yields 4 portions
Ingredients:
4 slices bacon cut into small pieces
1 large shallot coarsely chopped
1 tbsp butter
4 cups frozen corn
2 cups chicken boulion (I use low sodium Better Than Bouillon)
3 cups of cooked or baked shredded chicken
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can organic diced tomatoes drained (14.5oz)
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Cook the bacon pieces in a large pot over medium/high heat until they start to turn golden brown but don’t over cook to make them crispy.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped shallot to the bacon and sauté until the onion turns soft – about 4 minutes.
- Add the corn and butter and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the 2 cups of chicken bouillon and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and sprinkle with the xanthan gum. Keep stirring until the soup begins to thicken.
- Add the drained diced tomatoes and mix well.
- Transfer half of the soup into the high speed blender and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Add the cooked shredded chicken, and shredded cheese. Cook while stirring until the cheese melts.
- Season with freshly ground pepper to taste.

This sounds tasty. Like single pan food dishes as it saves time on cleanup. Thanks.
How’s the store coming? Don’t sweat it if you are taking a long time. Better a fully functional website than problems with it and constant customer complaints. Don’t stress to much take a swim and be well.

Why is this WEM? Corn is just vegetable…

Corn has a lot of carbohydrates.

corn is not in the list of veggies, but rather of “starches” or carbs. (same like rice)

There’s bacon, butter, heavy cream, I think those are the ingredients that make it a WEM

Actually those ingredients are fats not carbs. What makes the meal WEM is the corn.

Why xantham gum?

Instead of adding flour or starch and unnecessary calories to thicken the sauce.

Quick question. How many teaspoons would you use of the chicken bullion to make 2 cups? And you cook this in a separate pot before adding to the recipe, correct? I’ve never used this cooking tool so I’m a little unsure 😉 .

Guys…. I made this late last night knowing I would have no time/energy to make dinner for the rest of the week… and I totally botched it! *slaps forehead* I had no idea what chicken bouillon was and I dumped a whole jar of it in the soup. Let’s say my soup is definitely not bland. HAHA. So sad. I will choke it down for the next few nights until vacation, then feed the rest to the coyotes. Hope no one else was as blonde as me when cooking this!

Haha, go us!…. 😂 Two cups of broth made from chicken boullion, which I think a teaspoon of makes a cup of broth when boiled with water. Looks like we got an extra dose of sodium HAHA. Too bad too, this soup looks extra yummy. I’ll save it for this fall, though!

Yes, I agree, this soup does look yummy. All the food on the plan thus far has been delicious!! Thanks for the explanation. Can’t wait to make it right in the future! ☺️

This is SOOOO good, I’ve made it twice!! Substituted tapioca starch for the xanthan gum and Greek yogurt for the sour cream (it’s what I had on hand the first time, and turned out so good I just kept it as is) YUM!!

This is so different than what I’m used to in my country, but it’s delicious. 🙂
