A Chicken Corn Chowder with Delicious Thai Flavors!

This isn't exactly the first thing I'd think up to make but it is such a surprisingly delicious soup! My family recently went on a vacation to Hawaii and one of my favorite things I had there was a coconut corn chowder.

It was so good I knew I had to come home and make it, and just a few days later here we are.

The version I had there didn't have chicken and it did have kale and celery - which you could most definitely do here but I wanted to up the protein so I added chicken.

I used rotisserie chicken but if you've got left over roasted/grilled chicken breasts or thighs that would work too.

A Healthy Chicken Soup Recipe

Of course, I can't make any guarantees that it will kill that cold but this Italian chicken soup does contain plenty of ingredients known to be effective in fighting a cold.

  • Chicken noodle soup in general is good for a cold with its warm broth which can calm congestion and build up (do we want to use the word "mucous" on a food blog - ew) and lean chicken which contains cysteine - an amino acid which can calm a cough and stuffed up nose.
  • It's said that ginger can ease cold symptoms, and fresh garlic contains allicin which destroys bacteria and makes it hard for viruses to stay alive.
  • Then lemongrass is said to be a cough reliever and turmeric is high in antioxidants and it's said that it can boost the immune system.
  • And lemon juice is said to help unclog a stuffed-up respiratory system. So there's a whole lot of goodness going on here. Plus it's packed with veggies and a fresh herb and aren't those always good for us?
