Chicken Corn Chowder

Chicken Corn Chowder

4 medium potatoes, chopped

½ onion, diced or ¼ cup dried onion flakes

2 celery ribs, sliced or ¼ tsp celery seed

1 (14 oz.) can chicken broth

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast or 1 (13 oz.) can chicken

2 cups milk

1 (15 oz.) can cream style corn

1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained

½ cup flour

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp seasoned salt

¼ tsp pepper

6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled or 1/3 cup Hormel bacon crumbles

Place potatoes, celery, & onions in a large pot. Pour chicken broth over top. Broth should cover potatoes. Add more broth if you need to. Cut up chicken breasts & add. Bring to a simmer over med-high heat & cook until potatoes are tender & chicken is no longer pink.  When potatoes are done, stir in milk, cream-style corn, & regular corn.

In a small bowl, mix flour & water to make a thin paste. Whisk this into the simmering soup & combine. Let soup simmer until thickened. Add seasonings, adjust the taste to your liking. If you are using canned chicken, then add it now. Just before serving add crumbled bacon.
