This cheesy chicken chowder soup today includes, chicken, vegetables, and a creamy cheesy base. It is also ready to go in about 30 minutes.
I love to use rotisserie chicken for this along with red potatoes. It just helps make this soup come together quickly. No need to cook the chicken and no need to peel potatoes. My family is always more likely to eat their veggies if it is included in a soup rather than as a side dish.
