We have been having a massive two day blizzard rocking through the North East, which makes me crave soup, but of course my favorite soups are loaded with cream and other nonsense. I set out on a mission to make a healthy corn chowder. I found a recipe, and decided I need to plump it up! I wanted to add more veggies, garlic, and add some chicken - protein takes it up a notch.
Skinny Chicken Corn Chowder
4 cups of corn
2 cups skim milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup assorted peppers diced
1 chicken breast, diced
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 cups veggie stock
3 garlic cloves, put through the garlic press
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine 2 cups of corn and milk in a bowl, cream using an immersion blender. Set aside.
Meanwhile, put the olive oil in the bottom of your large stock pot with the diced chicken, and diced veggies - with the exception of the tomatoes. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are soft. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
After boiling, turn the heat down slightly and add the creamed corn mixture and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper, and heat through. Serve and enjoy!
