I took my basic chicken corn chowder recipe and added a bit of this and that and came up with a tasty bowl of yum. We always have these ingredients on hand so it's a good spur of the moment meal for us because it's so quick to make. We love all things taco so that influence is here. It's warm, comforting and it can be mild or spicy - that choice is yours. Really tasty on it's own but extra yummy served with some salty tortilla chips. Garnish with some snipped chives for great color and flavor. It's fun to serve it with Taquitos on the side .. just dip them into the soup !
