How to Make Jalapeño Chicken and Corn Chowder

This hearty main-dish chowder is full of chunky goodness, including sweet corn and juicy chicken. Jalapeño peppers give it a touch of spicy heat. Pair it with a light arugula salad and a serving of fresh watermelon, or this Watermelon, Arugula and Feta Salad, for a perfect summer meal.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, jalapeño, garlic, and corn and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the no-salt seasoning, black pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and puree about half of the soup, using an immersion blender or an upright blender. If using an upright blender, puree in batches and be sure not to overfill the blender. Return the puree to the pot.
  4. Add the chicken and heat through. Remove the pot from the heat.
  5. Stir in the yogurt and serve. Do not boil the soup once the yogurt is added.
