YUM!!!!

Nice and thick, comforty..yet super flavor with the curry-cilantro combination. The only adjustment I made was to up the cilantro :D I thought this had a fantastic flavor and it was perfect for a cold day like today!

Two thumbs up...even from DH who doesn't usually like curry.

7pts per very generous serving

Did you make the chicken stock or use canned? I had passed this one up. Too lazy to make the stock.

[greysangel]

I made the stock Terry, but to be honest I don't think it would really make that much difference. I would add thyme to regular chicken stock and call it a day! You call even buy one of the "herby" broth blends...I think college inn has them in different flavors.

The real taste is in the curry and cilantro with the lovely chowder consistency that I love :D

Thanks, Now I have an excuse to try that broth. I have seen it on the shelf, but have heard nothing about it, good or bad.

Just bumping this up to ask if someone would mind posting this recipe for me. I'm roasting a chicken tomorrow and was thinking of doing a nice chicken chowder with the leftovers from Monday.

Thanks.

Curried Chicken Corn Chowder


1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
2 teaspoons curry powder
6 cups White Chicken Stock
5 cups fresh corn kernels (about 7 ears)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Place flour in a small bowl; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until well blended to form a slurry. Stir slurry into corn mixture, and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes or until mixture thickens, stirring frequently. Stir in chicken, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

Will do. I'm debating between this one and a Turkey Sage one I found! Oh decisions huh? :p

We thought this soup was terrific! The aroma from the soup while it was cooking was really enticing and the flavor was a delightful follow-up. This will definitely be a repeater. A wonderful soup for this horrible cold weather. (I used regular canned broth.)
