  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 cups frozen southern-style hash-brown potatoes (from 32-oz. pkg.)
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 (14-oz.) can chicken broth
  • 6 oz. mild Mexican pasteurized prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers (from 16-oz. pkg.), cubed (1 1/4 cups)

Steps

  • 1
    Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    Add all remaining ingredients except cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  • 3
    Add cheese; cook over medium-low heat until cheese is melted and smooth, and soup is thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.

  • Look for frozen cubed cooked chicken in the grocery store's freezer case.
  • Use leftover roasted, baked or grilled chicken in this chowder; cube and measure 2 cups. Mild Mexican-flavored prepared cheese product adds a little zing to this soup. If you prefer less spice, use the regular prepared cheese product.
