A Chicken Corn Chowder with Delicious Thai Flavors!
This isn’t exactly the first thing I’d think up to make but it is such a surprisingly delicious soup! My family recently went on a vacation to Hawaii and one of my favorite things I had there was a coconut corn chowder. It was so good I knew I had to come home and make it, and just a few days later here we are. The version I had there didn’t have chicken and it did have kale and celery – which you could most definitely do here but I wanted to up the protein so I added chicken. I used rotisserie chicken but if you’ve got left over roasted/grilled chicken breasts or thighs that would work too.
The Simple Tasty Ingredients
This soup is packed to the max with fresh ingredients and it has a lot of Thai/island flavors. I love the combo of the coconut milk and corn. Somehow it just works. This is a sweet soup thanks to that fresh sweet corn and it’s nicely balanced by the fresh lime juice that’s added at the end – which you can add more to taste if you have really sweet corn. Frozen corn could be substituted for fresh but fresh will be best if you can get it. And I also like to throw those naked cobs in while the soup is simmering for even more added flavor. If you like corn chowders you need to try this soup! It’s the perfect use for all that fresh summer corn.
