Ingredients
  • 4 Cups of Frozen Corn (Defrosted), or Fresh Sweet Corn
  • 2 Slices of Cooked Crispy Bacon (I used Turkey) (Diced)
  • 10 Ounces of Cooked Grilled Chicken Breast (I used Tyson) (Diced into small chunks of chicken)
  • 3 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce (Diced)
  • 1 Red Onion, Diced Small
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, Diced Small
  • 4 Cups of Chicken Stock or Fat Free Chicken Broth

  • ¼ Cup of Water
  • Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper to taste

  • Fresh Snipped Parsley (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Spray a large saucepan, large stock pot or Dutch oven with vegetable cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add in the diced red onion and red pepper. Cook until soft. If the vegetables begin to stick to the pot, add in additional chicken broth or water.
  2. Add diced chipotle peppers, cooked diced bacon and corn.
  3. Again, add some chicken broth or water if they are sticking. When everything is mixed and warmed, add remaining chicken broth and the fat free half and half.
  4. Let soup simmer for about 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
  5. In a bowl stir cornmeal and ¼ cup of water together. Add into pot with cooked grilled chicken strips. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Before serving, add diced green onions and fresh snipped parsley on top if using.
