Green Chile Chowder
We first tasted this dish in a Mexican restaurant in Ouray, Colorado. We loved it so much we went home and tried to recreate it. After several attempts we came up with this version. I think you'll like it.
Ingredients
2 medium chicken breast, chopped or one can of chicken 4 medium potatoes, cubed 2 medium bell pepper, any color 1/2 cup onion, chopped 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules 2 cups water, to cover 1/4 cup chopped green chile 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano 1 teaspoon cumin ground pepper, to taste 3 cups milk, approximate 1 Tablespoon chili caribe or powdered green chile 1 cup frozen corn 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
Saute chicken pieces in a small amount of oil. Remove from pan. Saute onion and bell pepper in the same pan, adding a little water to de-glaze the pan. Add the other ingredients except milk and corn. Add water just to barely cover the ingredients. Simmer with lid on for approximately 10 minutes, until the potatoes are almost done. Remove the lid and reduce so there is barely any water left. It will look like thick gravy at this point. Add milk and corn. Heat just until hot and the corn is cooked but not soft. Add grated cheddar cheese to the top of each bowl and serve. A few corn chips added at the table are also a nice touch. Using cream instead of milk will make a richer dish. All amounts are approximate, just use what you think looks good. 1 can of corn (drained) can be substituted for the frozen corn. You may substitute a Mexican spice mix for the individual spices to save room in the pantry.

Note
You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.
We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
