Spicy Chicken and Corn Chowder is loaded with chunks of chicken and lots of corn in a thick cream-based broth that’s full of spicy, smoky flavor. Serve with some crusty bread for a filling and hearty cold weather meal.

 
Crushed red pepper flakes and a jalapeno add plenty of heat to this delicious soup. You can vary the heat by the amount of red pepper flakes you add.
A full tablespoon of paprika really flavors this chowder up and adds some smokiness, plus it gives it a pretty reddish hue.

 
Spicy Chicken and Corn Chowder is thickened by a roux which gives it that thick and hearty chowder texture.
I’ve used frozen corn, but fresh or canned would work instead. For convenience, I use the meat off of a rotisserie chicken, but you could also poach 2 or 3 chicken breasts to use.  Leftover Thanksgiving turkey could be used instead of chicken for this recipe.
