Chicken Chowder With Chipotle

"A spicy, cream, very satisfying soup that is very easy to make (despite the long list of ingredients!). It is from Cooking Light. Just as a precaution--remember to use only 1 chile from the can (however if you like it spicier, feel free to use another one!)."

  1. I made this and it is really good. It may have more of an "adult" taste. My kids didn't really like the hominy, and it was a little too spicy for my youngest (age 6). My husband would have liked it spicier!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
