Sizzilin’ Soups Series: Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Chowder {20 Minute Meal}

It’s that time of year when the big stock pots come out, the broth starts simmering, and the mouths start watering. It’s soup season ya’ll, and I’m excited. I love soup – comfort food of all comfort foods, if you ask me. Actually, if you ask all the lovely ladies who will be joining me in bringing you a whole bowl full of sizzilin’ soup recipes!

For the next 6 weeks, we will be sharing with you our favorite cozy soups. Not to mention, each soup will use good, wholesome ingredients! At the end of the 6-week series, we will have a surprise for you. *hint: it’s FREE*

Now without further ado, this week’s soup is Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Chowder.

The added bonus? It only takes twenty minutes to prepare!

Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Chowder

What you need:

1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli
1 cup whole kernel corn
1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 a small onion, chopped (optional)
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
1.5 cups shredded chicken or meatless, if none is prepared (I cook whole chickens and freeze the meat for quick meals)
2 cups milk (full fat, preferably raw)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

To Make:

Combine the vegetables, water, broth, onion, garlic, thyme, and parsley in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat. Cover your pot and simmer until the vegetables are tender. This will take about eight minutes.

Note: Don’t do what I did and put your chicken in yet. It will turn all mushy. Will taste fine, but no one likes mushy chicken.

Once your vegetables are tender, add the chicken, milk, and 3/4 cup of cheese. Now is a good time to add salt and pepper to taste.

Continue cooking until heated through and the cheese is melted. This should take about five minutes. Taste to ensure your seasonings are good, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Serve alongside warm, homemade bread for a cozy, shake your rear and do the chicken dance (maybe that’s just me) dinner!

Be sure to check back next week for Rachel from Day 2 Day Joys‘ sizzlin’ soup recipe!

    That looks AWESOME!!!! I’m printing this to try for later….much later. Ahem.

      Yes, you’re “to try” recipes is well over an inch thick. I know!

    Ok, this looks simply incredible. I can’t however have dairy (I know, you know my sob story about that) so MAYBE almond milk? Also can’t have cheese…I will let you know if I come up with a DF version that works!

    • Leigh Ann

      January 14, 2012 at 11:42 am

      @Nikki, I would love to hear back from you if you figure it out 🙂

    You had me at “twenty minute meal!” This sound like a wonderful comfort food.

      Well, check back in the coming months. I think I have something you will REALLY like! 🙂

    This looks great! I’ll be making this for sure! Thanks!

      @Lexie, you’ll have to let me know what you think!

    I never met a soup I didnt love.. They’re the best, especially when you’ve got a foot of snow on the ground. 😉

    • Leigh Ann

      January 14, 2012 at 11:54 am

      @KimH a foot of snow is always a great motivator to get some soup simmering!

    With temperatures in the teens this weekend,…..I’m looking very forward to trying this!! 😉

    We shake our bottoms and do “the Bean dance” when we have good soup, so I know what you mean. 😉

    Veggie soup is onthe recipe for lunch today, and I have a pot of chicken stock finishing up as we “speak,” so this is excellent timing. Thanks for sharing! We’ll be feasting on this today!

    • Leigh Ann

      January 14, 2012 at 11:54 am

      @Christy, I think doing the bean dance sounds SO.MUCH.MORE.FUN. You’ll have to teach it to me. 😛

    This sounds delicious! I love chicken and corn, such a tasty combo. I’m hosting a weekly blog carnival specifically for soups, stocks and chowders, every Sunday! I would love it if you would come over and post this recipe. Here’s a link with more information:

    Hi Leigh Ann,
    We just love a great soup in the winter, your series looks like a great place to get some wonderful recipes. I love your Creamy Chicken Vegetable Chowder, it looks delicious! Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
    Come Back Soon!

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with Sunday Night Soup Night! I’ll be hosting weekly through fall and winter, so I’d love to see you again with your next soup/stock/chowder recipe. And thanks for providing the inspiration!

      Thanks, Debbie! I just found your site. When I have another soup (or need another soup), I’ll be sure to jump on by! 🙂

    Just wanted to say that I tried this recipe tonight and it was GREAT! I love how simple it is! I often have frozen broccoli, corn, and chicken in the freezer, so this is super easy to make when I feel like I don’t have a lot on hand. I also added some white beans and I was thinking if I ever didn’t have any cooked chicken on hand, I could just use white beans. Thanks so much for this recipe! I think it’s going to be a regular around here. 🙂

    • Leigh Ann

      February 7, 2012 at 11:25 am

      Leanne, I am so glad you enjoyed the soup! After I made this soup, I told my husband at dinner, “You know, I should have totally added beans to this and dropped the chicken.” I might have update this post to give that as an option, huh? 🙂 At any rate, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it. Sometimes I wonder if people like what I post. ha!

    Any idea the calorie content on this? I know it is wholesome, but my hubby is concerned about the portion sizes and calories.

    • Leigh Ann

      February 7, 2012 at 11:29 am

      That’s a good question. Unfortunately, I do not know the answer. :-/ it goes against the grain, but we don’t count. We just make sure what we take in are unprocessed, fresh ingredients. I would say just be sure to use whole milk and full fat butter (not margarine) and you can eat as much of this soup as you would like. 🙂 I promise!
