Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder

I like to make this smooth, creamy soup when company comes to visit. Its zippy flavor is full of southwestern flair. My family enjoys dipping slices of homemade bread in this chowder to soak up every bite! Dovetailing Tip: Cut up an additional 1 1/2 pounds of chicken to have ready to use in Mughali Chicken on day 3.
