Chicken Corn Chowder

I first made Chicken Corn Chowder in December of 2002 and have been making it regularly ever since.

We love soup any time of the year and it’s particularly nice on a cold and snowy evening. 

It recently snowed in my area of Virginia and I made this soup for us to enjoy after a day of enjoying watching the snow fall and going for a delightful walk in the freshly fallen white stuff. 

Snow gets tiresome if it comes too often but it’s nice to have some at least once a year.

Are you wondering how I know when I first made Chicken Corn Chowder? 

When I clip a recipe from a magazine or print one, I date it after I’ve made it.  Winners get added to recipe binders which act as my cookbooks when I plan meals.

Mushrooms, chicken, corn, and orzo make a delicious combination for this soup. 

It is thickened after cooking with milk and flour.  This recipe definitely gets a thumbs up at my house.

The beautiful soup bowl that I’m using to serve Chicken Corn Chowder is one from a set that my friend Beth at school gave me. 

The pattern is Condoro by Noritake. 

These beauties were headed to Goodwill but Beth asked me if I wanted them before taking them there. 

This dish-a-holic said yes in a New York minute!  Isn’t this a pretty pattern?

  1. Made the chowder tonight for dinner. It was great! The only thing I did differently was simmer it for about an hour because I had plenty of time. I imagine it’s going to be even better after it sits overnight. Thanks for posting this recipe! It’s definitely a keeper!

  2. Paula, this chowder looks so delicious. I definitely want to try it. Thanks so much for linking up with our Something To Talk About Link Party and I hope you join us again tomorrow morning. have a great week, Lisa at Concord Cottage

  3. I love a good chowder. Yours looks wonderful! And the dish is pretty, too. Pinning! Stopping by from Best of the Weekend.

    1. I wouldn’t recommend making this soup without the exact ingredients listed. If you can’t get canned soup, you may be able to Google how to make a homemade version.
