    Delicious and comforting, this Chicken Broccoli Corn Chowder is so simple to make!

    Corn Chowder in a white bowl with a large pot behind it.

    This was one of those recipes where you just keep throwing more stuff in it, you know what I mean?  It is WAY more than just a corn chowder recipe, I just didn't want to be too wordy. 🙂  

    I thought Chicken Broccoli Sweet-Potato Butternut Squash Bacon Mushroom Cilantro Chowder might be a little much.

    So many corn chowders have bacon in them so I added some turkey bacon (nitrate/nitrite free of course) and it added  just enough of that salty bacon taste that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the corn.  This dish is hearty enough to be a complete meal.  

    Oh and I just LOVE the addition of fresh cilantro!  But if you are one of those people that don't like cilantro or think it tastes like soap, you can easily omit it.  

    If you are looking for some more healthy soup recipes, you will love this Creamy Asparagus Soup, Easy Minestrone Soup and my Creamy Cauliflower Soup. They would all be even more delicious with some Slow Cooker Mulled Wine, Spiked Apple Cider and even these Cranberry Mojitos!

      Such a yummy way to eat veggies! You didn't say how much flour to add, so I used 1/4 a cup and it worked great. 🙂
