Deliciously creamy chowder broth, loaded with chunks of chicken, potatoes and veggies, has the perfect balance of spicy kick and savory flavors to be the hit of your next tailgating party!
Ingredients
- 4 large jalapeños seeded and minced
- 1 small red onion minced
- 1 large pepper red bell, minced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3 large russet potatoes peeled and diced (about 3 cups diced)
- 1 bag frozen corn kernels (Français) surgelés

- 5 strips bacon thick-cut ,fried crisp, drained and crumbled
- 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese cut into one-inch cubes

Instructions
- Sauté the peppers, onions and jalapenos in butter for about five minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and potatoes and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Add the corn, bacon, cheddar, cream cheese, and parsley. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted.
- Add the cream and continue heating until the chowder is hot enough to serve. Patience is important. Keep the heat low and don't let your chowder boil – cream soups often curdle or separate if boiled. Use medium-low heat and let it gradually come up to serving temperature.
