Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 1 celery rib, finely chopped; 1 small sweet red pepper, finely chopped; 2 cans (14-3/4 ounces each) cream-style corn; 1-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken; 1 can (12 ounces) reduced-fat evaporated milk; 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules; 1/2 teaspoon pepper; 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

When I haven’t planned for dinner, I often play around with ingredients in my pantry instead of running to the store. This recipe was a happy experiment. Cut some fat by omitting the bacon—it’s still tasty. &amp;mdash;Barbara Banski, Fenton, Michigan

I make this often. It is a quick evening or weekend meal. I have also cooked this soup in the slow-cooker and added some chopped potatoes to make it even thicker. A hearty, slightly sweet soup!

I just made this and it is delicious. I added a sprinkle of smoked paprika per another review suggestion. Easy and delicious.

Great chowder recipe. I substituted diced carrots for the celery and omitted the bouillon and bacon (didn't have either). I used rotisserie chicken and added a few pinches of red pepper flakes for heat.  It was a nice mix of flavors, will definitely add to the rotation.

I have not made it, but I gave it 5 stars, anyway. I make a very similar chicken and corn chowder, so I can tell by looking at the ingredients list that this is going to be delicious. My version uses fire-roasted green chiles instead of the red bell pepper and I add the kernels from an ear of grilled corn, but otherwise it's pretty much the same. I use low sodium bouillon and no salt added cream style corn, so we can each add more salt to our own taste. I will definitely try this version, too! 11-22-22--Updated to add: I made this version, with Knorr reduced sodium bouillon. It was delicious! The red bell pepper adds a nice sweetness.

We made the recipe exactly as written and found it very bland. After tasting we added, salt, pepper, chili flakes and cheese. I'm not sure I will use the recipe again, I think 30mins start to finish is just too quick to allow flavour to develop.

Delicious!!  This isn't much different than how I make it myself but had to refresh my memory. 
I added a few things:  Heavy cream, Carrots, red pepper flakes, dried parsely, sage, thyme, pepper, garlic, onion and smoked paprika.  
I omitted bacon (didn't want to cook it at 10pm), chicken boullion (I used the "broth" from boiling the chicken breast) and evaporated milk. 
I added flour to thicken then added corn starch at the end because the flour never works for me  lol.  
Hmmm did I change the recipe too much? lol.   I like a lot of herbs and how heavy cream works.  
Either way it was delicioius.

I actually made this recipe!  The only change I did was use shredded carrots instead of celery.  The colors were much nicer and I think it tasted wonderful! Very easy to make.

Made this soup several times.  We loved it.  It is a keeper.

Review by volunteer field editor: Being in the mood for soup and also needing to clean my fridge, where I already had some cooked chicken, this seemed the perfect recipe for a rainy day.  I did not have evaporated milk so I used half n half, nor did I add the bacon, but it was still a marvelous chowder.  This will go into my book as a winner.

Made this soup many times this winter.  My husband and I really enjoyed it. It is a keeper.

This was so easy to put together. It was the perfect meal on a cold winter's night. I only used half of a red pepper but it was a decent sized pepper. I would definitely make this again.

I like the use of cream corn,  instead of the dreaded "canned soup" .   I  eliminated the pepper , personal choice.  YUM!!

I just made this soup and it was so easy. I followed the recipe. I was never a fan of corn chowder, but I am now.

Very tasty and easy. Will definitely make this again. I added a few hot pepper flakes for just a bit of a kick. Otherwise I made just as per the recipe.

loved this! Made as it, except I had about 1/2 a cup of leftover fried potatoes from breakfast, so I tossed those in those as well. Will make this again!

Good, easy, solid recipe.  Whole family loved it.  I left out the celery/peppers b/c we aren't fans and I put it in the crock pot on low.  Loved how quick it was to put together.

Marvelous chowder! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I think it is a good base recipe however I agree with others that it was a trifle bland.I added more pepper and got the old man sneezing. For Sactofoodie, evaporated milk is not sweet, did you use condensed milk?

Good flavor with room for improvement; I added 2 tsp of "Better Than Boullion"  and that gave it a little more hearty flavor, (and without the MSG!).  Also works with deli rotisserie chicken - easy and quick but doesn't taste "quickly thrown together"  Easy on the budget - a winner all around!

This is great I added a cubed potato n I used  sour cream instead of canned milk.I also used some raw Spinach to add color lol  ... topped it off with CHEESE can’t go wrong with cheese.

Didn't like the evaporated milk, made it taste too sweet. Also a little bland for me - spiced it up with some Tabasco. Also threw in a handful of spinach and a handful of grated cheese...

I don't know what happened but this did not come out good at all. The red pepper was so overpowering. It made the chowder taste like the pepper but not in a good way. Won't be making this again.
