• Diced Tomatoes – We used diced tomatoes with green chilies, but you can just use regular diced tomatoes if you don’t want that extra spice.
• More Vegetables – If you want to sneak in those vegetables, add in some bell peppers, carrots or celery.
• Beans – You can mix in some black beans or pinto beans if you prefer. Both options go well with this soup.
• Instant Pot – You can easily make this soup in the instant pot.

What to serve with Chicken Corn Chowder:

• Rice – You can serve this soup with some white rice or cilantro rice.
