Heat the oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven.
Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and starting to brown.
Add the frozen corn and chilies and cook 2-3 minutes.
Add the creamed corn, stock, paprika, pepper, salt and cumin and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the cream and chicken and simmer another 5 minutes. Adjust salt to taste if necessary.
Serve with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
- If you want this soup a little thicker, use an immersion blender to blend some of the corn before adding the chicken.
- If you prefer a thinner soup, just add more chicken broth.
- After you add the cream and let the soup simmer, make sure it doesn’t come to a boil as the cream may start to curdle.
- To make this soup a little lighter, substitute the heavy cream for half and half.
- To reduce the spicy flavor, use less green chilies.
- If you want it spicier, add some diced jalapeños.
- Feel free to add black beans and other veggies like diced tomatoes and red peppers.
- Instead of store-bought rotisserie chicken, feel free to cook your own chicken like this sous vide whole chicken or sous vide chicken thighs.
