Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients 

  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chile
  • ½-1 cup chopped green chile about 4-7 ounces
  • 30 ounces canned corn drained (see note below for fresh corn alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups cooked chicken chopped bite-size
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 teaspoons kosher salt TASTE the soup first and reduce this amount if you are using store-bought stock

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and saute the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, green chile, corn, oregano, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to a low simmer and add the chicken. Let it warm for a few minutes and then stir in the cream. Taste the soup and add salt as needed. Remove from the heat and serve.

Notes

FREEZER MEAL: This soup freezes well and can be reheated in the microwave straight from the freezer or allowed to thaw in the refrigerator and then reheated on the stove or in the microwave. I store it in two-cup containers for easy lunches.
Fresh corn may be substituted for the canned corn in this recipe if you are fortunate enough to have it on hand. You'll need approximately 4 cups of corn kernels removed from the cob.
