This is a totally original chowder that I came up with on my own using things that I love to cook with. Family and friends beg for this when the weather turns cold. The russet potatoes allows the liquid to thicken and no flour or corn starch is needed. New Mexico green chile is recommended. Note: if using fresh green chile, add 1/2 cup of chicken stock for added liquid. Serve with your favorite corn bread.

LOVE it!! A HUGE hit with the entire family plus a friend who was over. I was 1 can short on the green chilies but it was plenty spicy enough for us so I think I'll stick w/that amount again. Thank you for a new soup recipe that'll go into rotation here!! Read More

Very good chowder. I did make some alterations. One thing is I would definitely parboil the potatoes prior to putting them in the pan. Mine are not quite soft enough. I did use fresh Hatch green chiles so I did put chicken broth in it. I also felt it definitely needed more liquid. I added a can of drained Rotel (green chiles & tomatoes) and a can of cream of chicken soup. I did not have any cream style corn so I used drained canned corn. It was perfect! At the end I threw some cream cheese in just to fatten it up!! LOL It was a little spicy so that's why I added the cream cheese!! Enjoy. Read More

I made a few alterations to the recipe, like using way more chile because we like it really hot and making it in a slow cooker instead of in a pan. It was delicious Read More

It was good I made some changes the 2nd time I made it & I think it enhanced the recipe. Cook the bacon a little longer than called for (crispy edges) it gives the soup more of a concentrated bacon flavor. 2 onions vs 1 add a green pepper 2 stalks of diced celery 1 jalapeno (the cream kills the heat but you get a little bite vs only green chiles) 3 cans of cream corn vs 2 4 lbs of chicken vs what the recipe called for. 1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup and 1 tablespoon of better than bouillon chicken base (this stuff is amazing). The extra corn & chicken flavor really livened it up. I took one of the chicken breasts cubed it & simmered in some chicken broth until I could shred w/fork and added it to the soup. So you get a mix of shredded & chunks of chicken. I thickened it up w/a little instant mashed potato flakes easy trick for soups if u want to thicken. I also added some quesadilla cheese to the soup. Top w/diced green onions when serving. Next time I make this I will try some variety of white beans. I think beans would be a nice addition. Thanks Papa Dar. Thumbs up! Read More

We really enjoyed this on a cold winter night. I halved the ingredients since there were only 3 of us. I might add some diced red or green bell pepper along with the onion just to add some color. And I will cook the potatoes a little longer as some were still a little firm. But this is definitely a keeper. Read More
