Recipe Tips for Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder:

  • Block Cheese – This recipe is best with block style cheese instead of the shredded cheese at the grocery store. If you hand grate the cheese, the soup will be smoother and have a much better consistency.
  • Diced Tomatoes – We used diced tomatoes with green chilies, but you can just use regular diced tomatoes if you don’t want that extra spice.
  • More Vegetables – If you want to sneak in those vegetables, add in some bell peppers, carrots or celery.
  • Beans – You can mix in some black beans or pinto beans if you prefer. Both options go well with this soup.
  • Instant PotYou can easily make this soup in the instant pot.

  • Salad – Since this soup is hearty and filling, you can even serve it with a side salad.
  • Roasted Vegetables – Roasted Vegetables would be easy to do with this slow cooker corn chowder recipe. Roasted Broccoli or asparagus is always a good option.

    I hope you enjoy it with your substitutions – Thanks for sharing!

  2. Marge says:

    Needing to cook gluten free, I will need to make a few changes. Canned cream corn is generally not gluten free, so will take a second can of corn, drain totally then use an immersion blender to โ€œcreamโ€ the corn. Or other option is to mash some canned beans and use two cans of corn. My best option, for me tho, is using frozen corn instead of canned-sodium-do some measuring. I will use Costcoโ€™s rotisserie chicken for better flavor. Otherwise, make this the same

    This was AMAZING! We will definitely be making this again. Iโ€™d use a third chicken breast and maybe add some cheddar next time.

    My husband and I both loved this recipe!! I also added a can of drained & rinsed black beans. Iโ€™m served with shredded extra sharp cheddar & diced green onion! Yum!!

  5. Carrie Barnard says:

    Yes, each serving size us approximately 1-1.5 cups but each batch is different so a serving is 1/6 of the entire recipe.

  6. ashley says:

    i absolutely love this soup, but was curious on what the serving size is? iโ€™m assuming may 1-1.5 cups, but wasnโ€™t sure!

    Made this, and it is amazing!!! I used fire roasted corn, and fire roasted Rotel.. followed everything else exactly. I loved it! crushed tortilla chips in mine, and topped with cilantro. it was DELICIOUS. definitely a recipe I’ll keep in the rotation.

  8. Carrie Barnard says:

    yes they are correct. No you do not have to drain the cream corn.

  9. Kristine says:

    Do we drain the cream corn or no? What size cans? 14.75 Oz is what I was able to grab for the creamed and 15.25 Oz for the whole corn. Thanks! Excited to try.

    The crockpot Mexican chicken corn chowder was too easy to make and delicious to eat. We added avocado slices with a squeeze of lime. We had warm French bread to soak up the goodness. Will definitely make again.

    Turned out super yummy. Added a bit more taco seasoning. It’s not that spicy, so for those who love the spice they will need to add some.
