I too added some cooked chicken breast at step 1 and this was one of the best chowder recipes I've had the pleasure of making and eating. So easy to put together and so tasty. I've come to expect no less from Nurse Di's recipes. Hubby loved it said it get's 5 stars. So be it. Thanks for giving me another favorite!

I liked this soup very much, it reminds me of a soup I order at Panera bread. I didnt use the shreaded cheese, instead I added velvetta to the soup to give me a smooth cheesey soup, and I did not have enchilada sauce so I used a jarred salsa in place of it, I also did not cook this in a slow cooker, just on top of the stove and it worked out well for me. This makes alot! I froze the left overs for another time. Thanks Nurse Di for the recipe!

Very good and easy soup. I did this on the stovetop, so I started by sauteing the onion & bell pepper a bit before adding everything else. For stovetop, just cook until heated through then add cheese. I had to add some salt (used low sodium cream of mushroom) and also added a dash of cumin. I used pickled jalapeno (as the fresh ones in the stores around here are tasteless) which gave it a nice kick.

Added ground beef and we loved it! This will be a regular this winter.

Made this last night and it was great. I didn't stir in the cheese, but just added it to the individual bowls and topped with sour cream. I did add another can of beans and corn as we like thicker chowders. Served with sweet cornbread...what a treat for a cold night!!

I love soup and alot of NurseDi's recipes. The only change I made to this one was to add diced chicken breast at step one. I only had a red pepper, but think it would be great with a mixture of the peppers for color. The taste was just as NurseDi describes--scrumptious!

Made this last night, and it is great! I added a cut up raw chicken breast and added it at step 1. I also added ¼ t. each of chili powder, cumin and cayenne, as we like things a bit spicy. I topped the soup with extra shredded Mexi-cheese blend and added chopped fresh avocado, instead of the guacamole as suggested. Will be making this many more times!

My husband now immediately rates recipes he knows are from 'Zaar! This one gets a 5 star review! Very good, try it! Next time I'll try adding a little leftover grilled chicken.

Nurse Di you have done it again! My family loved this even before I added the cheese. Here is how I did mine. First off, my daughter and I do not like the chunks of tomato from a can of diced tomatoes so I ran it through the processor for just a second or 2 to make them smaller. Second, we both hate bell peppers so I ran a can of rotel through the processer in place of the bell and jalapeno peppers. I had quite a bit of juice after doing that so I added another can of black beans. My husband is a meat person so I boiled a few chicken breasts in Tony's and garlic while I put the rest of this together and added them to the soup. I also did this on top of the stove instead of the slow cooker. I put this in the fridge overnight and when I took it out to reheat for our meal then I added the cheeses. Like I said, my 8 year old daughter was eating it long before the cheese was added and loved it...I had to shoo her out of the kitchen.
