Easter was absolutely BEAUTIFUL here. The sun was shining and the wind was not blowing. Wahoo! But....BUT....Today was not so great. Cold and rainy and windy. So, soup it was. At this rate, it feels like soup season will NEVER end. Good thing I like soup.If you have crummy weather this week too, give this chowder a try. It is really delicious and even my pickiest eater ate it. VICTORY! One of my girlfriends just created this on a whim one night. Very impressive!

In a very large pan melt butter and 1 tblsp olive oil add onion, press garlic and green pepper and cook until tender. Stir in flour until all veggies are coated. Then stir in milk. Pour in chicken broth and stir together to combine. Add cream of chicken and stir that to combine. Add green chillies, tomatoes, and corn. Then add chipolte sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Juice 2 limes and stire all together. Bring to a slow boil and then turn burner down. After chicken has cooled, chop/shred the chicken and add to the chowder. Stir to combine. Simmer on low for 15 min. to one hour or whenever you are ready to eat :)
Serve in bowls with cheese, sour cream, chips and fresh cilantro leave for garnish.
