Directions:

  1. Get your stock/broth to boiling, turn down to rolling simmer
  2. If adding onion, saute in small pan w/butter or evoo prior to adding to broth
  3. Add your chopped raw chicken to the broth (if using leftover cooked chicken, then add after potatoes are cooked)
  4. Add potatoes, (cooking in the stock helps thicken it up too)depending on whether you use raw or the frozen adjust cooking time
  5. Add corn
  6. Simmer until chicken and potatoes are cooked approx. 15 mins. (it doesn't hurt to let it simmer longer until your ready to eat)
  7. Add canned chiles, oregano, chile powders to taste
  8. When ready to eat, turn down to low and incorporate cream cheese until dissolved completely
  9. Add cheddar and stir in till melted
  10. If the chowder isn't as thick as you like you can add the corn starch mixed with a little water to thicken it up, or instant mashed potatoes work well to thicken if you like 'em.
  11. Serve with extra shredded cheddar on top (of course!)
