Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced

- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Stir in the heavy cream and let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
- You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a lighter version or to make it dairy-free.
