Curry chicken corn chowder is easy to prepare and has wonderful creamy warming flavors. Chopped chicken, potatoes, onion, celery and corn cook in a creamy broth with curry powder.
Serve with crackers, our savory herb quick bread the simple four seed crackers, or with our easy peanut butter bread.


Chowder Recipe With Chicken
- After testing this recipe, my husband decided that this is his new favorite soup! He loves the combination of curry powder, chicken, and potatoes in a creamy base.
- The recipe is pretty simple but requires more ingredients than some of my other soup recipes. I like to chop and prep all the ingredients first. I also measure out all the spices in advance. This makes cooking the soup a breeze as you dump and go.
- We love a good traditional chowder and this recipe includes some fresh new flavors. For another chowder recipe try our quick and easy cod potato chowder (another husband’s favorite).
- For more chicken soup recipes try our chicken lentil taco soup or our easy instant pot chicken chili.




Recipe Ingredients
CHICKEN: You’ll need 1 or 2 chicken breasts (depending on the size) to make 2 cups of chopped chicken cubes. I cooked extra and saved the leftovers for making our pineapple chicken salad. Short on time? A store-bought rotisserie chicken can be shredded and added to the soup as well.
VEGETABLES: Chopped potatoes, frozen corn, green onion, celery, garlic and yellow onion are also included.
SOUP BASE: Curry powder is mixed with fresh thyme, salt and pepper. All in a base of chicken broth and cream.




How To Make Curry Chicken Corn Chowder
- Heat a large pot with cooking oil. Saute the chopped chicken until browned. Set aside.
- Cook the onion and garlic until it turns translucent. Mix in the curry powder.
- Add potatoes, green onion, broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
- Stir in cream, chicken, and corn. Serve and enjoy!
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat on the stove or in the microwave.




Recipe Tips
- Use yellow potatoes or baby potatoes and keep the skins on. This just makes life easier. Chop them into bite-size pieces.
- This soup doesn’t freeze well. Potatoes can fall apart after being frozen, creating a crumbly texture. The half-and-half cream will also not freeze well in this soup.
- Chop and prep all the ingredients first before making the soup. Then you can just dump and cook.
- Taste the soup as you’re cooking. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
