Smoky Turkey Corn Chowder With Bacon

This was a big hit with my family and was absolutely delicious. I took note of some of the other reviewers and decided to use the immersion blender to puree most ingredients. I left out the corn and red peppers and turkey and added them after the puree. It was a lovely consistency and looked really pretty. I used Trader Joe's roasted corn (frozen), which is a go-to favorite for this flavor profile. Also garnished with cilantro and scallions instead of parsley and scallions. Will absolutely be making this again!

Just made this for the second time. I puree the soup before adding the corn and chicken, which makes for a wonderful consistency -- and then you don't need to add the half-and-half.

Followed the recipe as exact as possible with the exception of omitting the half-and-half. Per a suggestion in another review, we topped the chowder with avocado and cilantro and served with corn chips. The flavor was balanced but seemed to be lacking. A very nourishing, delicious and comforting meal. In the future, I will puree the vegetables a bit to make for a thicker consistency and perhaps add a bit more cumin.

Excellent fall/winter soup exactly as written. (Although I used a whole jalapeño instead of half. Next time I might use two. ;)

我把锅里的汤,smell of it made me hungry all over again. I added some turnips I had bases on one of the reviewer’s comments and skipped on the jalapeño so it is not too spicy for the kids. The flavor was absolutely delicious! Saved this to my favorites and send it to my friends and parents. Highly recommend.

This turned out great! Made it as directed in the recipe, except I added two packets of Goya ham flavoring. Topping each serving with the bacon, green onions, and parsley is a must - without it the soup would be missing something.

Really excellent, and adaptable to what you have on hand – I used parsnips instead of sweet potatoes and padron peppers instead of bell and jalapeño. it was really excellent.

美味的编写。还美味的w / o -一半and-half and maybe sub fat-free Greek yogurt to decrease fat if you want creamy soup. As suggested by reviewers, avocado and tortilla chips for serving would be a nice touch.

I found this recipe and made it. Followed the recipe exactly w/the exception of using smoked turkey leftovers & 8 pieces of bacon. Lots of flavors!

This is a delicious soup. I decided to purée it before adding the chicken and corn, rather than leaving it thin with chunks of potato. Made it for a post-Thanksgiving football party. Got raves.

I had to modify the recipe to keep it kosher, and to go with what I had in the house, but it still turned out great. I skipped the bacon and cream, bell pepper and jalapeno, and only used one can of chilis. It still had a bit of spice to it, but not too much to where the sensitive couldn't eat it. I added celery to bulk it up. I'll for sure make it again. Really nice, hearty, and comforting.

This was a big hit in my family. I love corn chowder, and have tried so many recipes. This one is a keeper. I love the heat from the jalapenos, and the sweet potatoes for a twist. Excellent!

We love it! I was looking for a recipe to use left over turkey and corn, since that is what I had. This turned out to be a winner. Everyone likes it. I toook it to church for pot luck and all enjoyed it. We don't eat pork, so we sprinkle Bac' Ums on top instead and I use some smoked salt while making the recipe. This is a great "comfort food" recipe, and without the bacon, is quite healthy. This will be the 3rd time I've made it in the last 6 months.

Been snowed in for nearly a week and meal options are dwindling. This recipe has been on my "try" list for awhile so went ahead today using what I had on hand. I used a leftover pork chop instead of poultry. No jalapeno so used a healthy dose of cayenne. No carrots in the refrigerator. Used yellow pepper instead of red. Bottom line, it was still very good. The combination of salty bacon, cumin and heat from the peppers worked very well. I think next time I'll add more sweet potato. I did add half-and-half because I happened to have some, but suspect this would be good without it.
