Simple Chicken Corn Chowder

This Chicken Corn Chowder is healthy, hearty and extremely simple!  Perfect to warm you up on a cold day.

I don’t think I can get enough soup in my life during the colder months.  I have a thing for corn chowder.  I decided I needed to make up a batch this week to eat for lunch since we had an extra cold snap roll through.  It was in the 20’s one morning!  The wood stove is roaring already and all my blankets are out.

I also added some cooked chicken that I had in the freezer to it for extra protein.

You can also just bake the chicken (covered) at 350 for about 40 minutes with little coconut oil or olive oil. Then chop or shred it to use in this chowder.

It perfectly hit the spot!
