It is spring here in Iowa…or so the calendar says. It is still quite chilly right now, making it great for soup. This Chicken and Corn Chowder is super easy to make, creamy and full of flavor. Using rotisserie or left over chicken makes this soup ready to go in under 30 minutes. Topping this chowder with jalepenos adds a nice kick to those whom like spicy foods.
