Hope everyone had a great weekend, Mondays’ seem to come so quick, don’t they? I had a LONG weekend of Pilates training that I travel an hour each way to, (finally almost done!!) and my oldest son lost his first tooth. As a hygienist, I was excited to be the one to yank it out after my little guy decided that by kicking him in the mouth, it would loosen it even more! I just love boys! The tooth fairy came and it was a huge success!
So, onto the soup of the day…There’s just something about a good homemade soup that just makes you feel so good. This hearty Chicken Corn Chowder is no exception. It is full of fresh vegetables and packed with flavor.
This is my own recipe that I created and keep close by anytime I’m in the mood for a good hearty soup. The best thing about it is, it’s a breeze to whip up. Are we seeing a trend in my recipes yet?!!
The avocado and tomato topping are so good mixed in the soup. I love avocado with everything, creamy and delicious. Enjoy!!
Chicken Corn Chowder Topped with Avocado and Tomato
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks of celery, diced
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 14 oz cans chicken broth
2 lb bag frozen corn or 8 fresh ears of corn, kernels cut off
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
½ Cup heavy cream
8 oz sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tomato, seeded and diced
Fresh ground black pepper
Yum! This looks wonderful! I’ve been into soups lately and I’ve got to get my fill since it’ll be getting hot around here real soon.
My little one loves tomato and avocado but I never thought of using them as soup toppings. Thanks for the great idea!
i will eat anything topped with avocado and tomato
Looks great- filling and comforting
First tooth! That’s a big deal. Hope the tooth fairy was generous.
I love making soups. This one sounds delicious. Especially with the creamy avocado.
i agree, a little avocado can improve anything! this soup combines lots of my favorite flavors–corn, avocado, sour cream…
thanks for sharing!
That soup looks so good. I love corn chowder and topping with avocado is brilliant. I can’t wait to try this!
This soup sounds absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try it out!
Thanks Christine,
I was thinking the same thing, soup season is close to being over! I still make it in the summer too, I’m crazy!
Hi Beth,
I love the picture of the baby in your post, too cute. I bet your little one would love this. My boys ate it up no problem.
Hi Jamie,
Me too!
Thanks RecipeGirl!
Hi Emiline,
The toothfairy was pretty generous considering I used to get a buck back in the day!
Thanks A. Grace!
Hope you Enjoy Bakingblonde!
You’ll love this Steph!
I love that it has chicken in it – yum!
That looks so comforting! I may wait until I can get some really fresh corn on the cob before making it though… and unfortunately, for me, Jersey corn doesn’t come in until July/August! May have to freeze some this year so I can make it in the winter next year! Thanks for sharing.
Oh yum! Another avocado fan here. Why did I spend so many years when I was younger never even trying it? haha.
Me too Deborah!
Patsyk,
I was weiry about using frozen corn, but was pleasantly surprised at the great fresh flavor. I think next time I might use fresh corn as well!
Hi Kandi,
Glad to hear from another avocado fan, it’s the best isn’t it?!!
This soup looks wonderful! I love your pictures too!
Jenny,
This looks fantastic. There are so many words in that title that I love: corn, chowder, avocado……
You take such great photos too!
I would dig right into your chicken corn chowder right now! Looks delicious, as usual.
Hi Jenny!
Thank you so, so much for this recipe! I made it for dinner tonight, and it was so absolutely incredibly delicious! We loved it!
I made a few slight variations based on our tastes, but pretty much stuck to your original recipe. I did a post on your recipe and noted the variations I made on my blog (www.lmridgely.blogspot.com).
I’m a new reader, and I’m really enjoying your blog!
Thanks again.
That looks tasty! I like the avocado topping.
Thanks Melanie, Julie, Marie, Lisa and Kevin!
Lisa, I just checked your blog and love all of your variations!
Hi Jenny!
I am a new reader too. I have made three of your recipies this week and they all turned out great. This soup was easy and tasted great! Your egg and avocado sandwich was so yummy. I also made the buffalo chicken sandwich. It will probably be back on our table very soon. My three year old loved all three. I have loved looking at all of the recipies on your blog. I am planning on using three more next week.
Thank you!

I am in the process of making it myself! I cant wait as yours looked so inviting. I also made a few changes. I will add some fajita seasoning that I had made up some time ago.
I have a picky five year old that I will puree the soup for… and hope for the best. Definitely without the fajita seasoning.
I always enjoy reading your blog. I use to live in Mesa. I miss the SW so much!
Loved the Chicken Corn Chowder! Even my picky 5-year-old loved it. She even asked for some of the leftover soup for lunch the next day! Thanks for the great recipe. I blogged about it at my blog http://imrunningtoeat.blogspot.com
