Chicken Corn Chowder

 Hello friends,


This is a fall favorite (but it's delicious any time of the year) in our home. My kiddos and hubby often request this hearty soup because it has great flavors and keeps their bellies full :) I'm always happy to oblige & we usually have all the ingredients on hand and it is a breeze to make this recipe. 

What you'll need: 

I'd suggest using an instant pot as this recipe was designed to cook in one. However, it could easily cook in a crock pot or big pot on your stove with the necessary time adjustments ;) 

*Instant Pot

*1 cup chopped or shredded chicken (could substitute with any meat you prefer. This is also very delicious with some added bacon bits)

* 1 bag of yellow potatoes chopped (or any potato you prefer)

*1/2 of 1 sweet onion (I like to use sweet Walla Walla onions)

* 1 red bell pepper diced

* 1 orange bell pepper diced (yellow or green also works)

* 2-3 medium carrots chopped

* 2-3 stalks of celery chopped

* 1 can (drained) sweet corn (or a bag of frozen corn)

*1/2 teaspoon of basil

* 1/2 teaspoon of oregano

* Pink Himalayan salt & ground black pepper to taste

*1 1/2 boxes of Low sodium Organic Chicken Broth (if I don't have enough chicken broth on hand I often will use a 1/2 box of vegetable broth)

** For creamy soup: Add a 1/4 cup or more of heavy whipping cream to soup after it has cooked and stir to combine before serving

*Optional toppings: Diced Chives, chopped Cilantro, chopped cooked bacon bits, sour cream, a handful of shredded cheese


Instructions:

1) Prep all ingredients and place into your pot & stir to combine.

2) Place lid on instant pot and turn lid to sealing

3) Cook on manual for 5-6 minutes

4) Once I.P. beeps allow to sit for 2-3 minutes and do a quick release. 

5) Use a potato masher to mash potatoes to your liking and add in 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream if you desire soup to be creamy

5) Allow to cool for up to 10 minutes before serving

6) Serve with a dollop of sour cream, diced chives or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro & some chopped bacon bits

*I like to serve this meal with some homemade bread or some of Costco's yummy rolls and a side salad. 

I'd love to hear some of your favorite fall recipes or additions you've tried with this recipe so drop me a comment :) 

Happy cooking friends,

~K

Overcoming trials & loss and how to find a greater joy than you thought was possible

There are times in our lives that I believe will be etched into the fabric of our being forever, no matter how hard we try to fight it. Nothing we do can shake those memories from our minds and we must come to terms with the facts that those times may haunt our memoires, toy with our thoughts and have the potential to corrupt our feelings and emotions if we let it. For me, one of those times that will forever be engrained into the inner most parts of my soul and burned into my memory is this night, nine years ago.  *Fare warning friends, this is a long, somewhat messy & somewhat disorganized post. I am so grateful you're here and pray you find a sense of hope and encouragement through my sharing a bit of my story with you here today...  It had only been 5 days since I had made the life changing decision that I needed to leave my (ex-husband) and flee to safety with my two young children. The fateful day the choice was made for me was Christmas 2011. It hadn't been 100% cle...
