It’s actually been cold in Florida for the past few days so I decided to make another soup for dinner on Sunday evening. As you may know, I love spicy foods so I wanted to make a soup with a kick. I decided to make a Roasted Jalapeno & Chicken Chowder. I took the easy route with the chicken. I purchased a rotisserie chicken from Publix. You can’t go wrong with a rotisserie chicken from Publix. Tender, juicy, flavorful chicken makes a great addition to soup if you don’t feel like cooking chicken to put into your soup. The jalapenos gave the soup the spicy kick I was looking for and the sweet corn gave the spicy kick a complimentary sweetness that tasted pretty amazing. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

wish I had jalapenos in the kitchen but I used the last one the other day. Will be getting more to make soup like this! Hope you warm up soon in FL! We have 60 degrees and sunny here in Denver which is beautiful but snow will be here with 30 degrees by Saturday.

This recipe couldn’t come soon enough! I have a huge glut of jalapenos from my garden that are sitting in the freezer waiting to be used. This is a done deal for me. I’m making this as soon as humanly possible.

I had to pin this one to try! It might be 80+ degrees where I’m going, but I don’t care – I’ll need to try this once things settle down!
