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.

This Chicken Broccoli Corn Chowder is hearty enough for comfort food but healthy enough for a second serving! From Lauren Kelly Nutrition

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, you can easily omit it.  Different strokes, right?

Ingredients

5 uncured, nitrate & nitrite free turkey bacon slices
1 tablespoon  butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
6 cups low-salt organic chicken broth
2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled seeded butternut squash
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon thyme, dried
1 16-ounce bag frozen corn kernels
1 cup milk (I used organic skim)
1 1/2 cups broccoli, chopped
1 1/2 cups diced roasted or grilled chicken
1/2 plus 1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt & pepper to taste

  1. Cook bacon in large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  2.  Add butter to pot; melt over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms. Sauté until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour; stir 2 minutes. Mix in broth, then squash, sweet potatoes, and thyme; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until squash and potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add corn, milk, and broccoli. Simmer until corn and broccoli are tender, about 10 minutes. Add chicken, 1/2 cup green onions, and 1/2 cup cilantro; simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Ladle chowder into bowls; sprinkle with remaining green onions, cilantro and chopped bacon.
